window.open() is blocked by browser when is called from promise

Question

I have code like this:

window.open(\'https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/\',
\'_blank\',
\'width=700,height=500,toolbar=0,menubar=0,location=0,status=1         


        

Answer 1

The promise fires in response to you getting the HTTP response back from the Ajax request. That isn't a user triggered event, so popups are blocked. Use the window the user gives you instead of creating a new one.
