Hi Dominique,
So, I'm assuming that other people are using the
same kind of dumb popup guards which block every
new window. [...] Can I get some feedback as to
how some of you are handling this?
The only truly safe way to avoid your popups being blocked is not to use
popups :-)
If you must
Re Dominique's problem, wanting to open pages in a new window but being
blocked as if it were a popup..
I would add this to Jon's contribution - if you open your links in a new
named window using JavaScript, your original window should then be able to
check for the existence of the new window to
Ok, I haven't really been following this thread, but mozilla's built in
pop up blocker doesn't stop pop ups generated from a link, only
*unrequested* pop ups, don't know about third party blockers though. I
personally hate going to a site that starts throwing new windows at me,

_target is deprecated in CSS2. Which I suppose is a not very subtle way of
discouraging the use of popups. Similarly, the incorporation of event
handlers like onmousover etc into the browser discourages the over use of
javascript. Find a way to do it without js for accessibility and then you

Hi David:
Yes, I do like you, I use target=windowName (your third named
alternative). And I never thought of those as popups either until I saw
our popup guard in action.
And of course
David,

How is this third option different from a pop-up? Your one and two are
JavaScript and same window; I am struggling to understand the difference
here. I would like an acceptable way to show information which does not

Well, Joe:
I think that popups are windows that open without user's input. What I'm
doing is have the user click on the link because it is information that
