Avoiding the popup blockers in IE

Hi all,

I have an intranet application developed for the company I am working presently. The web application uses a lot of popup at every stage and due to the popup blocker inbuilt into the windows service pack 2 it is blocking all the popups. Most of the users of the system doesn't know how to remove the popup blocker thus I would like to use javascript to overcome this popup blockers. I have been trying to get around this with some examples over the net but in vain.

Is there any piece of code I can just paste it and everthing works fine.


Thanks,
Shankar.

i dont think you can overcome it... all the JS actions that open a page are blocked...

If javascript existed to overcome the popup blockers, don't you think the popup blockers would be updated to take that into account?

Think about this, how come the bank sites are able to open popups even when the popup blockers are active. visit http://www.anz.co.nz , click the log on button keeping the popup blocker active.

That works because it's not a real popup by definition. Popup blockers block unwanted popups that appear on entrance or exit of a page - not windows that are opened by clicking on a link. Provide this link, and your problem is probably solved.

Yes you are right, but the same thing i am trying to duplicate but doesn't work for me

All their JavaScript is right there in the source code, so I guess it shouldn't be too hard to find out how they do it. I've never written a line of JavaScript myself though, so I can't help you there...
