Hi I am trying to dynamically open a popup window but ie8 blocks it with the popup blocker.
basically within a ajax fuction I have a confirm button and if the user clicks yes it opens a popup window.
now I tried it with a javascript function but it got blocked, so I have tried it by creating a form with a button in it and instead of calling the popup function direct I call document.form.button.click
and in the form my button has onclick"popup('<? echo url; ?>')"
but this also is detected as a unwarranted popup and is blocked.
now I understand that the popup blocker works when a popup is called without user interaction, but allows popups on say button clicks.
how can I get the popup to work
any help and I would be hugely grateful
many thanks
Barry
