Okay, searched the forums but just a I cant find a quick answer to this 2 part-er...

1) Can anyone recommend a "kirupa-style site" with an active forum that deals with JavaScript?

2) I have a question specific to AOLs popup controls and how it would affect site design that uses JS popup windows.

Thanks

Reason I asked :

started working on a JS tut that uses popup windows. In order to get the example to work I hadda turn off my AOL popup controls. This presents a usability problem for me and uh, that small niche of users who might be using AOL 8.;)

Let me ask you then,...

As a designer do you generally stay away from popup windows?

Yes.

I hate pop ups on so many levels... I've got a killer permanently enabled, I only allow pop ups when I specifically want a new window or when I'm going through SotW entries.

As a rule, if anything spawns a new window I didn't ask for, I close it instantly. But then, I am fickle. :sure:

I would say only if you have to, use pop-ups. Your probably better off opening a full window
