Someone has just pointed out to me that parts of my new website may not work if people have pop-up blockers activated.

I don't have one of these installed on my PC, so was wondering if anyone who did could let me know if my site works or not!

Basically, if you click on one of the small photos on the link below, a new window should pop up with a larger version of the picture.

Also, how many people actually run pop-up blockers? This isn't something I'd considered before, but might have to rethink my site design if it looks like lots of people use them!

TIA!

Works fine with the google toolbar which usually blocks popups. I think it blocks popups that automatically open rather then ones that open as a direct result of clicking on a link (target=_blank)

Ditto.

Looks like it uses the similar manner of displaying pictures as Pistonheads, which work fine. Since I can't remember a pop up window complaint for PH I'd say you were ok for most people, only those who have heavily locked down and secure systems would have problems, but then they would probably be the same 's who block image displays on all websites.
