I'm seeing them on more and more websites. Below is code from overstock.com showing an example. If Mozilla's goal is to eliminate unsolicited pop ups, something needs to be added to selectively block this type when a layer has a z-index greater than the default for the page, and the position is absolute. document.write('<div id="popOffer" style="position:absolute; top:78; left:250; z-index:2; visibility:visible;">'); document.write('<LINK HREF="http://www.overstock.com/float_o_css.css" REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css"> '); document.write('<DIV ID="FLOAT"> '); document.write(' <DIV><IMG SRC="http://images.overstock.com/f/102/3117/8h/www.overstock.com/img/mxc/float_o_popup_bg_01.gif"></DIV> '); document.write(' <DIV ID="inside"> '); document.write(' <DIV ID="float_top"><IMG SRC="http://images.overstock.com/f/102/3117/8h/www.overstock.com/img/mxc/float_head_soldout.gif"></DIV> '); document.write(' <DIV ID="float_middle"> '); document.write(' <DIV ID="product"> <DIV CLASS="proComplete"> <DIV CLASS="NewCatListImage"> <A HREF="http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?SEC_IID=3127&PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=849301"><IMG SRC="http://images.overstock.com/f/102/3117/8h/www.overstock.com/images/products/T954089.jpg" BORDER=0 alt="Memory Foam 2-inch Mattress Topper" height=120></A> </DIV> <DIV CLASS="NewCatListPro" STYLE="height: 45px; padding: 5px 0px;"> <A HREF="http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?SEC_IID=3127&PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=849301" CLASS="NewCatListPro"><span class="NewCatListPro">Memory Foam 2-inch Mattress Topper</span></A> </DIV><DIV><TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0> <TR><TD ALIGN=LEFT CLASS="NewCatListPercent" nowrap>List Price:</td><td align=right CLASS="text" nowrap>$279.00</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN=LEFT CLASS="NewCatListPrice" nowrap>Our Price:</td><td CLASS="NewCatListPrice" align=right nowrap>$79.99</TD></TR> <TR><TD ALIGN=LEFT CLASS="NewCatListPercent" nowrap>Save: $199.01</td><td CLASS="NewCatListPercent" align=right nowrap>(71&#37;)</TD></TR> </TABLE></DIV></DIV> </DIV> '); document.write(' <DIV><BR> '); document.write(' <A HREF="http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?SEC_IID=3127&PAGE=CART"><IMG SRC="http://images.overstock.com/f/102/3117/8h/www.overstock.com/img/mxc/float_middle_cart.gif" BORDER="0"></A></DIV> '); document.write(' </DIV> '); document.write(' <DIV ID="float_bottom"><BR> '); document.write(' Want the latest and greatest deals?<BR> '); document.write(' <A HREF="http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?SEC_IID=3127&PAGE=STATICPAGE&PAGE_ID=1935">Click here and signup for O-mail today!</A></DIV> '); document.write(' <DIV ID="float_close"><A HREF="#" onClick="document.getElementById(&#39popOffer&#39).style.display=&#39none&#39;"> Close <IMG SRC="http://images.overstock.com/f/102/3117/8h/www.overstock.com/img/mxc/float_bottom_close.gif" WIDTH="15" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0" ALIGN="ABSMIDDLE"></A></DIV> '); document.write(' </DIV> '); document.write(' <DIV><IMG SRC="http://images.overstock.com/f/102/3117/8h/www.overstock.com/img/mxc/float_o_popup_bg_03.gif"></DIV> '); document.write('</DIV> '); document.write('</div>'); Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit any site that decided that they still want to bother you with pop ups, but used a DIV tag to create the "window." 2. 3. Actual Results: An unsolicited "pop up window" appeared. Although it's not technically a window, it serves the same purpose, only it cannot be ignored since it's on the desired page itself. Expected Results: It should block unsolicited pop ups no matter what technology is used to create them. While this sort of thing used to be rare, it's becoming more common. Eventually, it will be unavoidable if something is not done soon.
