    Windows XP Service Pack 2

    Does anyone know if the new Service Pack 2 for windows XP is going to cause problems with Actinic Websites.

    There is a long list of ways it will affect web-browsing - see this url for info

    http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windowsx...-it-means.mspx

    One section suggests it will block pop-up windows - which sounds to me like it will interfere with the Extended Info pages - something about limiting webpages to 1 pop up window per page which suggests only 1 product per page can have a pop-up

    Has anyone been able to get SP2 and test this against their site?

    Thanks

    SP2 Popup Blocker

    I've SP2'd my test box and can confirm that you can add 'sites' to the allowed list with the popup blocker or hold the alt key whilst clicking the link to bypass the blocker, so this doesn't cause a problem.

    Regards

    Paul.

      The url given is quite clear in its explanation, it states :-

      A pop-up window that opens as a direct result of a user action (e.g. by clicking a page element) won't be blocked.

      I can't see the problem!

          Evening

          I have found that the pop up windows for the extended info pages work mostly fine with SP2, there is no problem in the window opening, just a problem with the name in the top.

          I dont know what it is called, but on this page it reads "Actinic Community - Reply to Topic". Within my store, i have found that the web address displays first ie "www.actinicforum.co.uk - Actinic Community - Reply to Topic".

          Any ideas on this and how to just display the page name?

          Many thanks

          Steven
