window.open with popup blocker

Question

I am trying to open a certain page from my default page. All the code there is in the default page is:

Answer 1

You can open popup using onclick event only. You can try submitting form with target="_blank" and action set to your url, but forefox blocked this, google chrome not.

Answer 2

You won't be able to do that. Its a user preference to block pop up windows and you have no control over that.

Answer 3

I don't think that's impossible, everyday I see streaming pages opening popups all the time and mine's being blocked so it should be a way to bypass it

Answer 4

adamantium is right. a popup blocker would be pretty useless if it could be overridden by the code that's causing the popup. the best you can do is this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var myPopup = window.open("StartPage.aspx", "", "fullscreen=yes");  
    if(!myPopup)
        alert('a popup was blocked. please make an exception for this site in your popup blocker and try again');
</script>

Answer 5

As others have stated, you simply can't. The browser is blocking that behavior. Another option would be to not use window.open but instead use a javascript component which can give you the same behavior.
