I was in a bind a few weeks ago and needed a pop up that didn’t feel like a pop up. I will tell you this: I HATE POP UPS. Most everyone does. So when these newer, smoother, cooler pop ups came along it was a nice change. They’re less like a rock hitting you in the face and more like a stiff wind. That just means they’re less annoying.

Over at Dynamic Drive they have such a pop up. It’s called an interstitial content box. Fancy name eh? It’s easy to implement and easy to customize. I do find the settings for how often it pops up to be a little off. This might be due to where I’m having it pop up though.

Description:

This is a Interstitial Box script that uses Ajax to fetch and display the contents of external pages on your server as an interstitial. As the content is being shown front and center on the page, a partially opaque “veil” appears behind it that covers the actual webpage, ensuring all eyes is on the interstitial. A robust frequency control system lets you control how often the interstitial box should appear so it doesn’t become intrusive. Whether you’re displaying an ad or an announcement, you can be sure people will notice it thanks to the Interstitial Box!
