Real simple here.. User clicks a link on my page, ie. link and it brings up an on-screen pop up over the page.. I'll add in a basic html email code from MailChimp later..

But I can't figure this out, no idea where to start. No decent plug-ins for Wordpress, even paid ones on CodeCayon.. Not having any luck? Maybe there's a name for this and I'm not looking in the right place..

Thanks.
 


You want like a lightbox type of pop? You're not using WP by chance are you? I found a kick ass lightbox pop up plugin that's free.

This is exactly what I'm looking for.. Just real basic, something I can pop my html code into. Also using Wordpress too, but the email capture is all taken care of, just need a pop-up section that I can add html too. Thanks bud.

I'm sorry, but not going to spend the next 30 mins organizing the code into a nice format, but here's how it's done:

1.) Put the entire page inside a wrapper (eg. <div id="wrapper"> ... </div>)
2.) Just above the wrapper, add another div for that popup. Put whatever contents / CSS you want, and make sure CSS contains "display: none; and "zindex: 50;".
3.) Change that link so it goes to say, "javascript:openPopup();"
4.) Create a openPopup Javascript function, which will opaque that "wrapper" div so the entire page dims, and change the "display" CSS of the popup panel div to "block". Search Google for the appropriate Javascript to center the popup panel on the screen, regardless of where the user has scrolled to.

Do those popups even work? I have never once signed up to a newsletter from a popup. They annoy the shit out of me.

Surprisingly well. You can set them to only show to a person the first time they hit a page, or every xx number of days. They will increase your newsletter sign up rate by huge percentage points.

I can vouch for this as well. After taking CCarter's recommendation I put one up on one of my higher traffic sites. I got 100 sign ups in the first day alone.
