I wonder what the effect of the growing popularity of popup ad blockers will be on those of us who use javascript for opening windows for legitimate purposes - for instance, to pop up a window with a full-size version of an image when the user clicks on a thumbnail, or create a floating nav bar. I haven't installed such blocking software (I'm on a Mac so there probably aren't a lot of options anyway), but I routinely use javascript for purposes such as the examples above. I wonder if I'm going to have to start including "help" instructions - "if you don't see a larger version of this image and are using popup blocking software, please turn it off and try again". Assuming of course people even know they've got the software installed and how to turn it off (doesn't AOL include popup blocking in its new PC release?)
On the other hand, if there's a way to code around these blockers, be assured that the advertisers will be the first to discover it.
No question, just thinkin' out loud...
