Question Deactivate pop-up blocker
I have one issue regarding pop-up blocker. Pop-up blocker won't allow opening a window, when trying to open a window using window.open() method from the onload event of the body tag. It allows to open a window, if window.open() command is executed from other than body onload event. Also, as per documentation, MS Windows XP will have in-built pop-up blocker, which cause problem when opening page using window.open() method.

I can know whether or not any pop-up blocker is installed, by checking the type of object created after executing the window.open() method and assigning the reference to a variable.

I have also tried another option in that, we can open a dummy modeless window (window.showModeless) and from that window opening the required page using window.open() command and closing the dummy window. But, in this case one extra server trip will be executed and a splashing small window appears (even though dialog's height and width attributes sets to 0) before displaying required page.

Can any other approach to open a new window other than page body onload event? Any idea to deactivate pop-up blocker or any work-around to overcome this issue?

As per doc. pop-up window allows, if user has clicked link on the web page. Any idea to generate Click() event of link control programmatically? So that we can call the window.open() method in the clicked event code of link control.


Thanks,
Dipak

pop-up blocker Problem
Hi Dipak,

I am facing the same problem too. Did you find any solution to this problem. If yes can you please answer me the method of how to deactivate the popup blocker or how to open a child popup window without being blocked by the popup blocker!

Thanks in advance,

I am looking forward to your reply,
Regards,
Dixon

pop-up blocker
Hi richarddixon74, welcome to the forums,
You may not have noticed, but this thread was posted a little over 2 years ago. Browsers and pop-up blockers have changed some since then. If you're have troubles with your browser blocking scripted pop-ups, check to ensure that it is allowing javascript. Also make sure that if you have other blocking apps installed, their settings will allow scripted pop-ups. If they don't allow you this option you may have to uninstall them for the pop-ups to work for you.

In my experience, most pop-up blockers have a disable button..

Unless of course you're trying to disable the pop-up blocker of your site's visitors, in which case you should stop trying and redeem yourself...
