Dear Raouf, so pop-up does mean "نافذة فجائية". The blocker blocks the "pop-up" which is the "نافذة فجائية". Well, thank you everyone. If "منبثقة" is teh term used, then it is. Thank you indeed.

Raouf Malek May 7, 2006:
You said "نافذة فجائية" or "نافذة تلقائية"? No, because the function of the pop-up blocker to stop all these نافذة تلقائية إعلانات فجائية
Ahmed Ali (asker) May 7, 2006:
Thank you Raouf. Good one.

can't you say نافذة التعديل!
Raouf Malek May 7, 2006:
Dear Ahmad, نافذة فرعية or نافذة منبثقة are right and correct because if you have not install the pop-up blocker the نافذة فرعية or نافذة منبثقة appeared and are different from sub-window.
Ahmed Ali (asker) May 7, 2006:
What about "نافذة فجائية" or "نافذة تلقائية"?
Ahmed Ali (asker) May 7, 2006:
Thank you Zeinab for your referral. However, I do not feel convinced of teh translations proposed. I certainly know what a pop-up window means in English and Arabic by way of explanation. What I need is a one or two word translation that is understood by the reader immediately. In spite of the fact that نافذة فرعية or نافذة منبثقة meet the criterion of being short, yet they do not really reflect the meaning. The former may apply to any sub-window, and the latter is not entirely correct. Thank you.

I've posted this answer after searching for the exact meaning of a pop-up window: A window that suddenly appears (pops up) when you select an option with a mouse or press a special function key . Usually, the pop-up window contains a menu of commands and stays on the screen only until you select one of the commands.

Stress" contains a menu of commands "

الطافية

Since pop ups (تطفو) over the screen, I would suggest الطافيات
for pop ups, and blocking them will be لجم الطافيات
