Forcing a popunder to "popover"

Hi guys,

Im looking for a way to force my popunders to be pushed to the surface.

Meaning my popunder will be displayed OVER the window the user is currently seeing instead.

Does anyone have input on this? Asking Google didn't bring me anywhere.

Thanks

Got a quick followup on that one:

I managed with the alert and it works, the only issue is that the background behind the alert is blank.

I want to show the visitor the background and have an alert box in the front as well and at the same time it should have the same effect of pushing the popunder up to the surface.

Any hints?

Regards

Did you insert alert to end of the code?

just a piece of advice: some traffic sources don't like this kind of stuff, popunders are supposed to be in the background for a reason, namely to not interrupt the user interaction with the site.

make sure you check with the TOS of your source, otherwise you might get banned.

maybe delaying javascript alert will load site in the background?

Likely you put the code in the head?

If so, the body won't have even loaded yet.

Put the alert script inside the body tags and ideally delay it's execution.

Delaying the execution: if you're using jQuery you can use .delay() after the alert, otherwise you'll have to use SetTimeout().

^ What Caurmen said has been tested and works
