This makes adding and updating the content very cumbersome. An example would be inputting the messages to display in a JavaScript scroller- generally not a fun experience:
The initial solution adopted by most developers is dynamically hide a form controls by having them lose display when the CSS menu drops. Though doing this may seem to be strange and blinky it is better than not trying to fix the problem. But site vistors might be bothered a bit by things dancing around on the webpage. It is distracting and may be a cause for dozens of emails to the webmaster.
While the goal of the popup blockers is almost achieved nowadays, to keep out the intrusive popups, the only alternative for fair webmasters is the usage of DHTML popups. These are not regular windows controlled by your GUI operating system component; in fact it is pure HTML controlled by the browser via JavaScript. They would also qualify as a part of the so-called AJAX technology, therefore are also named Ajax popups too.
