bypassing pop-up blockers form within an enclosure

Hello,

I am trying to open a new window in response to a mouse click. The rules of
most pop-up blockers allow windows launched by user interaction, but it
seems that if the window.open() is inside an closure the window is blocked.

this works:

clickHandler: function()
{
 window.open()
}

this doesn''t:

clickHandler: function()
 {
  myAsyncCall(function()
  {
    window.open()
  }
 }

I am wondering if anybody has encountered this and may have an idea how to
pass the identity of the "clickHandler" to the closure.

many thank yous,

ned

Re: bypassing pop-up blockers form within an enclosure

If its suitable in your app, make your async ajax call (if that is
what it is) synchronous:

new Ajax.Request(theURL, {
	asynchronous: true,
	onSuccess: function(transport) {
		window.open();
	}
});

If you can''t live with a sync call then I can''t think of any
obvious
way around this, as window.open must respond to a user event.

Regards
Gareth

Re: bypassing pop-up blockers form within an enclosure

<laughs>

sorry I meant: asynchronous: false :

new Ajax.Request(theURL, {
       asynchronous: false,
       onSuccess: function(transport) {
               window.open();
       }
});

Thanks!

I am using the asp.net ajax script manager to handle ajax requests in this
app... not sure if there is an synchronous switch or not but I will look in
to it

Re: bypassing pop-up blockers form within an enclosure

I had this approach working in FF and IE, but safari still blocked the
call even if it was synchronous.  Do you find the same thing?

Re: bypassing pop-up blockers form within an enclosure

Sorry, to clarify, safari blocked the window.open call even even
though it was made via a synchronous request.
