Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating a display of popup content within a previously loaded web page while avoiding activation of popup suppression, said method including: detecting, by a computer-based system for facilitating said display of said popup content, an event message from a hidden area in a first field of said previously loaded web page, wherein said hidden area has a vertical position and a horizontal dimension, wherein said horizontal dimension is substantially the same as a horizontal width of said previously loaded web page, and wherein said hidden area lacks any association with visible content on said previously loaded web page, wherein said hidden area is absent of visible content and lacks indicia and, wherein said vertical position is located between primary web page content and a browser toolbar; determining, by said computer-based system and based upon said event message, a user action wherein said user action comprises at least one of: an action taken toward closing said web page or an action taken toward navigating away from said web page; causing, by said computer-based system and in response to said determining, said popup content to be displayed as visibly perceptible content in a second field overlaying at least a portion of said previously loaded web page visible content, wherein said second field is displayed within the bounds of said previously loaded web page, wherein said popup content was loaded with the loading of said previously loaded web page, and wherein said event message is selected from a group comprising: a mouse pointer interfacing with said hidden area and a keyboard interaction; and avoiding activation of a popup suppression utility.
