Advanced DHTML Popup

ADP Ultimate, the third in the Lite, Pro, Ultimate series of Advanced DHTML Popup has been under development from scratch using Delphi Pro as the development platform for almost a year now. It will be available at a discount to all subscribers.

Among the powerful new features are complete object oriented code design allowing for the automation of multiple layer generation, the ability to add and remove files to templates and create your own templates, a tabbed interface allowing for multiple layer design all within one session, and much more.

After its release, ADP Pro and Lite will be cut from the Ultimate code so that they can also benefit from the new Delphi development environment used, and then made available to owners of the Pro, Lite products.

Footer Ads are the new breed of popup which are taking the internet marketing world by storm. The popularity of this type of popup over the traditional is ten-fold and in this article we will explain a little bit about why.

Pop-ups have been here a while now and are normally associated with annoying unwanted guests which normally result in deterring a visitor from the website rather than enticing them into viewing further. So you may be asking what’s different about the footer ads or any DHTML based ads? For a start they are discreet and un-blockable by popup blockers.

Version 2.49 of ADP Pro has been quite exciting – although on the surface it appears that only a few things have changed,
the reality is that the extensive core changes have made a lot of difference to users, especially those using it for multiple layers
on a page, or dynamically changing a single layer.

The new API extensions (adpPlace(), adpTitle(), adpScroll()) and the
dynamic updating of the positions of multiple layers with browser resizing have helped a lot of projects so far.

Announcing the imminent release of a new product ADV-Direct, a purely script & template driven plug & play product for immediate deployment of dhtml based content in your pages.

With one line of script placed in the header the user can then add content via single line calls to the script which contain all common parameters for each of the templates. Advanced configuration can be modified via a simple config file.

Currently templates exist for YouTube, The Transparent Player & Generic (user controlled) content. Methods available are scrolling, modal (lightbox)
effect, on-exit, 9 different locations in the page & more. Multiple layers with different kinds of content can simultaneously co-exist.

This product, begun originally as something for the Macintosh users but available to anyone as a lightweight yet powerful addition
to ADP, will revolutionize the way in which users can add content to web pages. It will be the focus of a strong development drive over
the next few months.

The third of a series of powerful upgrades to Advanced DHTML Popup Pro has been released

This is being released initially to the newsletter subscriber list, to be followed in a few days on the site. It is the third of the recent series of revisions and much of the development is focused on the core script. Major changes are:-

	New CSS code gives flawless scrolling of single & multiple layers in Firefox/Safari/Opera etc (used to be jerky in non-IE browsers)
	Follow page scrolling extended to multiple layers
	Browser resize handling extended to multiple layers in absolute positioning (top-right etc)
	API & CSS extended to include individual title control of multiple layers
	API extended to include dynamic control of absolute positions
	New compile option to automatically stop audio stream when video layer closed

Starting with the release of 2.47 we have been working hard to push Advanced DHTML Popup Pro to a new level altogether at version 2.50. A whole series of additions is planned, including a range of powerful new scripted templates & better engineering of the templates backend to allow easy installation of new ones provided by us, or created by users.

The second of a series of powerful upgrades to Advanced DHTML Popup Pro has been released. Version 2.48 completes the plugin implementation. Last month we announced the modal script (lightbox effect) is now a real plugin, fully automated. This month the overlay images pack and the video script are both integrated.

But the real bonus is the video plugin, more on that below. More scripted templates, slide-up & slide-out methods and more.

All the ADP templates use in-line CSS for styling the content, but it is also possible to use both an external file or a CSS style block, such as you
would normally declare in the head section of your page. To do this though requires (thanks to IE’s handling of the dhtml content layer) a trick.
