add a pop up?

Before you add popups you should ask yourself why do I need a popup? What
value am I adding to people visiting my site with this popup?

Dennis,

AFAIK, there is no way to determine if the link referencing your site is
coming from the browsers bookmarks (favorites) or a normal link. The best
you can hope to do is determine if the user visited your site at some time
in the past by using a cookie on the clients machine.

So to accomplish you'll need to tie the display of the popup to the
existence of a cookie using JavaScript. If you don't know how to accomplish
that, you may wish to take a look at my J-Bots components which will allow
you to set cookies and to display a defined pop up window if a cookies is
present.

And there is spawnJimcoPopup from http://www.jimcosoftware.com/addins.aspx

Search for "Spawn".

Jim states on this page:
Easily create and edit pop-up windows. Pop-up windows created with Spawn
will work with most pop-up blockers including the one that comes with
Windows XP SP2.

Jim also states that Spawn will not work from an on-load event. Spawn
defeats the pop-up blockers by loading the page conventionally (I don't
recall if it uses a new window - as opposed to pop-up window - or not)
if the pop-up is blocked.
