Pop Up on Joomla? WF Joomla Master Please Help!

[Arbitrager]

I have a huge video squeeze page(1100 x 780) on http://www.domain.com/squeeze That I want to display on my home page (http://www.domain.com/) every time someone visit the page (just once per session).

I try to use Dynamic Pop Up generator(Mess up the page when opened with IE), Instant Pop up(Nothing shows up at all), and Squeeze Them extension (Error on IE) from Joomla with no success. Anyone? I get 2 of my programmers to help me out, but both were giving up on this. Any Joomla, lightbox, or dhtml master who can help me out? Please Help....





Best,
Steve

1. Go to your website's front page.
2. Right click and "View Source."
3. Copy all the contents and paste them into a Notepad file.
4. Save the text file as index.html.
5. Place your popup code in the simple HTML code.
6. Upload the index.html file to your root and you're done.

Is it a pretty solution? No.
But everything will continue to work as normal and no one will know the difference.
The only thing you lose is dynamic control of your front page.
But with Joomla...that may be a good thing.

thanks for your help. I still cant really see how am I going to do this. I wonder How's loosing dynamic control to the page a good thing?

You can control every aspect of your landing page without the constraints of Joomla.
You can use a squeeze page or salespage with no columns or distractions.
You can add in any piece of code without worrying about breaking Joomla.
You can deliver the landing page faster by not hitting your DB.

Tons of reasons why you should...or shouldn't.

Bottom line: if you can't figure it out, then adjust until you can. Getting that page live is more important than getting the popover "just right".
