How does IE determine a popup?
Please support our JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX advertiser: PostgreSQL or MySQL? Compare and contrast the two most popular open source databases
Thread Solved |
I'm trying to design a site that makes use of
the window.open() javascript method by opening certain links in a new window with a specific pixel size and position onscreen, but Internet Explorer (with default security settings) blocks most attempts...Is there any way around this, to let IE know that its a legitimate site? Or does anyone know exactly what criteria IE looks at in determining popups?
All the pages opened are in the same site, under the same domain, and most of them are even served from the same directory. I just need to open them at a certain position on-screen, and have them be a certain size, and window.open() seems like the correct way to do this.

Using the target _blank attribute on a hyperlinked anchor tag is generally more likely to get past popup blockers...
That's not so good because you can't control the spawned window's size directly or open the new window automatically.
Some popup blockers would object to this kind of popup aswell O_O

NO there is no way to do that. If there was, then every site would do it so their popups dont get blocked!
It is very important to read this: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
I'm going to have to agree with Dukane, I looked for information but it looks like all popup windows are blocked.
i just dont understand why microsoft can't make even a simple web browser that works 
well, the solution ive come up with is to just use target="_blank" links, then resize and relocate the window as it loads. its pretty hacky, but its the only thing that works in IE under default security settings. plus it has a degree of degredation for when javascript is disabled altogether.
thanks all, i appreciate the advice!

If I turn the popup blocker on, it's because I don't want popups.

have you tried this?
always better to give folk a choice when it comes to popups if possible imo.
