script will kill any popups by checking it's name, instead of a location,
it's more accurate than the previous one and it's in my opinion the ultimate
popup killer. I even included it in the top of this document source :)) you
must check you web provider to see the name of the window their javascript
code will open, but normally is something that included "opup".</FONT></P>

To know the "Popupname" you must look at the code the server inserts
in your page and get it there.<BR>
The window.focus() is optional, it will only make this window become active
when the popup closes. </FONT></P>

use "<A HREF="http://smogalert.tripod.com/html/adkill-howto.htm#end">remove end</A>" of document technique. You can
also replace the banner with the image you want.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><B>·</B> If the banner is placed
automatically on the beginning of the page, the best thing to do is have a
layer filling the space occupied by the ad. This banner can contain a image
or a solid color background. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Change the "src" property
of the image by refering to the image number on the page, if the banner is
on top it's number must be 0 if it's the last image on the page you must count
all the images, or in case the banner has a "name" property you
can replace the "images[0]" with the "name" value of the
image. Just insert this script after the image you want to replace.</FONT></P>

just make some redirector point there.</FONT></P>
