Pop Up Comments-Good or Bad?

[me!]

Hi All,

I am using comments that pop up as a separt page. It is based on the pixel post dark template. I just noticed when testing in ie that the comments page is not working. I believe ie is thinking it is a pop up page. So here are my questions:

a) am I thinking correctly? if so how to change its classification?
b) have a separte comment page a good idea? ie should it be on the image template?
c) if I do have it on the image template and want to hide it unless clicked. Is that a java script?

Thanks,
Y

a) In my IE it works (Ive got IE 6.0 without buildin "popup killer" function). But unded Windows XP and with newer IE this function ("popup killer") is set to on by default.
b) IMHO all depends from resolution of page, of image and so on.
c) Yes it is JS which you can get from other templates.

As I have popups then Im using special layer in my blog for comments which user can look on or hide.

Hi G,

Thanks for the answers. I checked out your site. Very nice. I also liked the mouseover feature. I think I am going to have to change how my comment work. So Javascript is next.

Thank you again,

Just tried to make the comment a page not a popup. I lost the features that were in <> any way to past these functions to another page?

Just a minute ago someone gave me a link to nice box:
http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/

Please read documentation and look to default templates - there are the most important tags.

Hi Geo,

Thanks again,
