This might seem like it should be going to a webdev list, but there's a possible security implication, so here goes;http://2-spyware.com/file-cnfrm-exe.htmlIn Mozilla 1.5 and FireFox 0.9 with the pop-up blocker turned on, I get a pop-up! It's purporting to be an important notice from my Network Administrator - you'll probably recognise it;http://2-spyware.com/images/2SPYRR1C.gifLooking at the source of the page, I see that the pop-up is being generated by a <DIV> statement that comes after the closing </html> tag which - I thought - was supposed to indicate the end of the document.
This is not a popup as you think it is... It is plain <div></> html with html layers.
In fact you have think it is a popup because it looks like a Windows XP dialog box. For example on other OS (OS X, Linux, W2k, .... whatever) you see that this dialog box is not from browser but a fake one...
This kind of ads with layers are more and more common... See Lycos webhosting for example, all ads are shown like this...
