    Hi,
    This is not done in HTML. It is done in JavaScript with window.open(). The bad news is that almost any of the current or recent pop-up blockers will block its display. There is a program that is supposed to get around it with what is call a Pop-over.
    Peace,

    Pop-ups are a thing of the past, use a modal window.

    Hi,
    Try this link:
    Modal Image Box
    Also see:
    http://javascript.about.com/library/blmodal.htm
    Though it seems that they require interaction and do not timeout. Know I have seen it done in the past, but cannot remember where.
    Peace,
