i dont know if this is the right forum where i can post this question that i have.

im making an organizer and i want to make a pop-up window that would remind the user of an upcoming event he has 10/5 days from that time he opens the organizer. and i dont want to use javascript (i want better interface). how can i do that? :)

Maybe Java.
Many browsers block most popup windows but I think Java and Flash are exceptions. Note that Java is not Javascript.

You could use a 'false popup', with an invisible DIV becoming visible and has a link so that you can close it (hide it). No new windows involved - the div can be 'floated' above the rest of the elements and can even be dragged. You just need JS/CSS. Scriptaculous provides a good way to stylishly show/hide elements. But there again most JS libraries do (JQuery etc).
