Hi

I am creating a trouble shooting section for our website and wanted to add a link for people to check their systems so it was easier for us to troubleshoot.

Something along the lines of this:

go to – [url]www.marthastewart.com[/url]

near the top right of the page is a picture of a dog, then text, then a table or something. Click on the text…. it is a link to free online videos.

A popup box appears and checks your computer. This is the sort of thing I am looking for, preferably in JavaScript.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

M Barnes
