Matt, Thanks for the answer, but I think I did not explain it well or I do not understand what you are saying. I open a browser and enable popups for https://sis.nsd.org. I login and popups work fine. I logout. I then go to plain vanilla apache in the same browser window and click on a link like:
<a href="https://sis.nsd.org"; target="_blank">Synergy Login</a> It opens the app login window in a new tab, I login and popups do not work. I close the tab and then right click on the link and say open in new tab, login and popups work. So this is independent of the popup blocker as near as I can tell. cheers, ski On Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:02:05 -0400 Matt Simmons <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Ski, > > So, from my reading of the code, there is a javascript function, > DetectPopupBlockerOnLoad() that is called from the body onLoad.
