Hi there all,
Is there a way, using Javascript, that you can detect if a popup window has
opened successfully?
I'm tring to work out if someone is running popup blocking software or not.
Cheers,

Check the Google groups archive for partial solutions. This topic has been
discussed more than once, but I believe the basic answer is, no. At least
not with consistent results.

Original page has the following function:
<script language="JavaS cript">
var child=window.op en("blah.html", "nam","args ")
function imHere(){
//if this function is called then the popup is opened
alert("YAY! no popup blocker for me, I'm free to annoy the world!")
}
</script>
child page (blah.html or whatever uses this for verification
<body onLoad="window. opener.imHere() ">

Kinda sorta, but not really.
IOW, not reliably in all browsers.

Having the page that is loaded in a new window report its presence will
tell you that the page has loaded, from which you may infer that it was
not pop-up blocked. That does not necessarily mean that the next attempt
to open a new window will not be blocked (though it suggests that it is
less likely).
On the other hand, the failure of the new page to report its arrival (or
the fact that it hasn't yet reported its arrival) cannot be used to
deduce that there is a pop-up blocker operating as they are not the only
factor in the failure of a page to load (or a long delay in loading).
It is the pop-up blocker detection that cannot be done, it is only
possible to make inferences about it, and only in such a way as would
make it difficult to meaningfully respond to the inference that a window
opening attempt had been blcoked.

Actually Richard, not to seem like an arse or anything, but the function i
posted wasn't intended to be the complete thing, it was there to be adapted.
adding a couple of lines is all that is needed to detect the presence of a
popup blocker, but still; here is the "virtually" complete version
a global variable
var popBlocker=""
and adapting the function imHere...
function imHere(){
//if this function is called then the popup is opened
popBlocker="no"
}
function windowOpen{
if(popBlocker== "" || popBlocker=="no "){
popBlocker="tes ting..."
var child=window.op en("blah.html", "nam","args ")
}else{
//popupBlocker was found
}

Top-posting evidence of a failure to comprehend logic to a programming
newsgroup is likely to give that impression.
<snip> adding a couple of lines is all that is needed
to detect the presence of a popup blocker,
The successful loading of a page in a new window could be used to infer
the absence of a pop-up blocker, but failure to load (or very
slow/delayed loading) cannot validly be used to infer the presence of
pop-up blockers. There are just too many other factors influencing that
situation.
but still; here is the
"virtually" complete version
a global variable
var popBlocker=""
and adapting the function imHere...
function imHere(){
//if this function is called then the popup is opened
popBlocker="no"
}
function windowOpen{
if(popBlocker== "" || popBlocker=="no "){
popBlocker="tes ting..."
var child=window.op en("blah.html", "nam","args ")
}else{
//popupBlocker was found
<snip>
But even if you did decide to deduce that a pop-up blocker was operating
when a page has not loaded, the test isn't worth much unless it is in a
position to do something; to react to the (possibly erroneous)
conclusion that a pop-up blocker was operating. As you have written it
you are only in a position to act when you receive confirmation that the
new window was not blocked, which is a situation that probably does not
need any positive/remedial response.

Do not top-post. Do not over-quote. Attribution lines should precede
other material, in almost all circumstances.
Read the newsgroup FAQ until you understand it.

Do not post to comp.lang.JAVAS CRIPT if your post contains no information
relating to JAVASCRIPT.
Suggesting better posting styles is one thing, and leads to a better group
of users. But lately, this group has been overrun by posting-style nazis who
focus more on posting correctly than actually discussing the topic of the
group.
Suggestions for better posting style should only be made in posts that
contain content that is relavent to the topic of the group.
