Hi

I have a site at www.gilbert.net.au

It opens full screen by means of opening an index page which then opens the main page as a fullscreen pop-up.

This works fine and is very usable, but not for people with Mozilla or pop up blockers, also Netscape may be a problem.

Most people that look at my site are IE users so there is no problem, but I want to cater for all users (I have just done some advertising and am getting a few hits a day now).

Is there any way to make the original index page check the browser type, and also check if there is a pop up blocker, and then open up the main page accordingly? In other words, if they use IE, then open a fullscreen version otherwise open a regular browser version?

Also, I am now having trouble getting scrollbars back into my page for the non IE version!!! How do I get scrollbars back!!??

My site is at www.gilbert.net.au for anyone that wants to take a look.

The index page is actually at http://people.aapt.net.au/~celebritymusic/g/index.htm
and the main page that it opens is at http://people.aapt.net.au/~celebritymusic/g/index2.htm

Thanks!!!!
