Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for eliminating unnecessary dialog box pop-ups. When web page data are retrieved, checking for a pop-up command within the retrieved web page data is performed. Responsive to identifying the pop-up command within the retrieved web page data, checking a saved web page data pop-up command list for the identified pop-up command is performed. Responsive to identifying the pop-up command within the saved web page data pop-up command list, the pop-up command is ignored. Responsive to failing to identify the pop-up command within the saved web page data pop-up command list, the pop-up command is saved within the saved web page data pop-up command list. The access time for the pop-up command is saved together with the pop-up command within the saved web page data pop-up command list. When the pop-up command identified within the saved web page data pop-up command list is older than a predetermined time limit, then the access time for the pop-up command is reset in the saved web page data pop-up command list and the dialog box pop-up is displayed.
