I'm sure you have a good reason to do that - it's generally kinda tacky.

Use the onLoad method to get it to show up immediately:

Use the onUnload method to do the opposite:

Just a word of advice though - people tend to hate that.

its not quite what i was looking for ...do you have any other suggestion?

I'm not sure - it depends on what you didn't like about that

Basically, no matter what you do, you'll need to just hook into one of those document methods to call your javascript. I recommend you search the internet for 'pop up' 'javascript' and 'grey out' or something:

There are 128,000 hits. Hopefully one of them will do what you're looking for. If not, you may wish to hire a web programmer.
