I am assuming that you have no scripting because your page is on myspace, is that correct?

There is a way of doing it but its a bit of a cheat and requires a small amount of thought.

Your myspace account does not allow scripting but it does allow css and html.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to http://www.tripod.co.uk or http://www.tripod.com and signup for a free account.

2. Edit the index.html file and add the following code:

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body onload="window.open('http://www.dearfatherchristmas.net')"
</body>
</html>

3. Now go to your myspace account and add the following code:

Code:
<iframe src="http://www.tripod.com/yoursite/index.htmll" style="display:none"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

-----------------------------

What I have done is as follows:

You aren't allowed scripting in myspace but you are on tripod. So I have created an index.html file in tripod that simply creates a pop up window.

(for more information about window settings visit http://easywebpagedesign.com/content/view/46/27/)

Ok so now all you need to do is attach the index.html page to your myspace page.

To do this I've created an iframe that points to the tripod index page but I've also made the iframe invisible so that you don't see the index.html page.
