Open new window after a click event not working in Safari, Chrome

Question

I\'m trying to open a new window like so:

$(\'#wrapper\').click(function() {
    window.setTimeout(function() {
        //alert(\'hi\');
        window.open(         


        

Answer 1

I got around this by checking the return value of window.open() for undefined. If that is true call alert() with a message for the user to to disable their popup blocker.

var myWin = window.open([args]);

if (myWin == undefined)
   alert('Please disable your popup blocker');
