Firefox popup blocker and my javascript

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 28.2006

I’m writing a javascript for a popup which works just fine in IE, but the popup blocker in FF is too aggressive and I can’t seem to make the popup work in that browser. Is there any way I can get a popup window to work that would not be flagged as a threat by the Firefox popup blocker.

A major problem here is that even if I add my site as being an “allowed” site, the popup still doesn’t appear. The linkis below. I’m at a loss. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

@felgallMar 28.2006 — Since your window.open command is inside a function the more agressive popup blockers which don't check where the function is called from will block it. To get a window.open past as many popup blockers as possible you need to puit it into the event handler code in the HTML link itself.

@UltimaterMar 28.2006 — Could also use a FORM, a single submit button, and the FORM's depreciated TARGET attribute the same way you can make use of the TARGET attribute on the A tag as Stephen suggested.

Success!
