Popup Problem

[pisoftwar]

Good day,

I have a slight problem with a site I have developed.

I have a report being generated to a new browser by using the following code

Response.Write("<script language='javascript'> window.close();window.open('" & Url & "',null, ''); </script>")

The problem is that Zone alarm pro and the like are blocking the page from comming up because it thinks it is a popup.

Is there another way to achieve this ?

[ashutosh9910]

anything thats opened using window.open is treated as a popup and the pop up blocker will try to block that.

 

The options could be disabling the pop up blocker for some time.

 

I am not sure if using window.ShowModelessDialogBox will serve your purpose.

What are you trying to do? What is the purpose of the popup?

Have you looked at RegisterScriptBlock?

 

I have found that (a) this will pop up through many of the pop-up blockers and (b) has a method to determine if the window is blocking scripts, giving you the option to post something saying, "Hey - you need to accept my pop-ups in order to proceed"

 

       Dim sWindow As String = "mywindow"
       Dim x As Integer
       Dim y As Integer
       Dim glob As globVars

       glob = globVars.GetInstance
       glob.sRetField = "btnCheckIn"
       x = glob.iScreenHeight * 0.3
       y = glob.iScreenWidth * 0.45

       Dim jscript As String = "<script language='JavaScript'>mywindow = window.open('./CalPopUp.aspx','" + _
           sWindow + "','width=265px,height=208px,toolbars=no,resizable=no,top=" & x & ",left=" & y & "')</script>"
       ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Me.GetType, "CallServer", jscript)

 

This example also puts the window in a specific place, so you can cut out anything to do with the glob
