Open browser popunder

[Partheban Udayakumar]

Hi,

I know we can pop up the default browser by using Desktop class but can we open the browser in pop under mode?

What's 'pop under mode'

[Partheban Udayakumar]

Maneesh,

Pop under is the mode where you open your application at the backside of the current application. For example, ads for dating sites will be opened at the back of our browser when we browse right? I need to do that.

I don't like such sneaky behavior. What are you trying to accomplish by doing that?

I always find those ads to be doubly bad. It's bad in that it is spam. It is crap that people don't want. But it is doubly bad, because the user doesn't see it, but since it comes up, I am assuming the advertiser has to pay for it. If I was paying for advertisement, I don't know if I would pay for any advertisement that users don't see.

I guess spammers don't care -- as long as they get paid right?

I think the debate about this being "good" or "bad" belongs elsewhere. Just my opinion.

And for what it's worth, sometimes you go to a site and they say "will you take a survey when you are done?" If you say yes, I believe (and I could be wrong) a pop-under window opens so that when you close/finish with the main page, the survey is there waiting.

Ulf Henry and fred,

Thanks for your feedbacks, I have no wrong intentions. I would like to clear it up. In a particular module assigned to me as my work, I am asked to do it. Thats it. I searched about it but I didn't find anything about this. So I asked here. As fred pointed out, I am doing it for the survey pop up. Is it possible in java or should I do it using javascript or some other language as c or c ++.

Since you are doing this in a browser, it needs to be done on the server side. C/C++ do not run in a browser. Java applets do, but they don't control browser windows.

Jeanne,

Thanks for your comment. Server Side? Can you please explain it?
