ModalPopups are, in my opinion, the cleanest solution since they lock the page from interaction by default and can be build and styled to look anyway you want. Unfortunately a huge percentage (thanks to the Symbol 9090s running wm6) of business handheld devices don't support ajax =(

It's pretty clear to users that they shouldn't attempt to click on things when the mouse pointer is not an arrow or hand. -John _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
