I'm looking for an HTML tag that would pop up a window message saying like "Hello!" or "Welcome!" when someone visits or clicks on a page. Help would be appreciated. Thanx!

Do you want the window to pop up automatically or if the user clicks to initiate it?

Automatic popups are pretty much useless these days because of all the pop up blockers as well as people using more superior browsers such as firefox...

http://www.htmlgoodies.com/ - that is a great site to learn a lot of HTML basics.

Yes, automatic. It's ok about the popup blockers. I just want a "Welcome!" message. Do you know the tags?

Thanks for the link!

You could create the welcome popup using the javascript alert(); method. This will display your message, popup blockers or not.

Put the following in your <BODY> tag:

Code:
<body onLoad='javascript:alert("Welcome!");'>
You can change the Welcome! to read as anything you'd like.
