Popup Toolkit

This software helps you create appealing pop-up ads despite its own bland design. Popup Toolkit's tabbed interface is crammed with text, settings, and other options. Despite the busy interface, the tabs make the process easier, walking you through each step from design to implementation. You can choose DHTML, standard, imposing, and superimposing ad types, set the ad to launch when the Web page is opened, when it's closed, and through specific links or other HTML elements. It's easy to select the ad size and choose background, title bar, and border colors and styles, and you can also apply effects so your pop-up will move across the bottom, jump around, fade out, or unfold on the page. Popup Toolkit comes with an editor to create ad content, and your finished product can be saved to an external file or installed directly into an HTML file. You can't save your projects with the trial version, but you can preview them with IE or Mozilla. Any user looking for a stand-alone program to create pop-up ads will find a handy set of tools with Popup Toolkit, but we suspect more advanced users will want more than this basic program provides.
