Pop-up blocking technology has grown in popularity because it helps people avoid the plague of annoying and invasive pop-up advertisements.
However, some people (like us) use pop-up capabilities for good. While we can (and do) design Geocortex-based web-maps without the use of pop-ups, we continue to make use of them because they are very effective for communicating certain types of map-related information.
There are many alternative pop-up blockers on the market. With most, you can temporarily or permanently add a particular internet domain as a safe site. The geocortex.net domain contains no advertising and we use pop-ups sparingly. We recommend adding www.geocortex.net as a permanent safe domain.
