Popup windows ("window.ope n") no longer works!

For some reason pop up windows are no longer working on my pc. And no, I
dont have any popup killer installed. The problem is across all websites I
look at on my browser.

Is there any obvious reason this might happen? I haven't changed any
settings, but if there's somethign I could check I'd be grateful if someone
could point it out to me!

Thanks!

Only because there's a legacy system here which requires popups to work.
Personally I hate 'em.!

Do you use the Google toolbar? It may have updated itself with version 2.x,
which includes a popup blocker.

I don't know much about this. Clients want a new "printer friendly" page to open when clicking on a link. I think it can't be done in a way that won't trigger the common pop up blockers out there. post responses here. thanks!

Hi, For some reason, the website I made does not open pages in a new page whenever I right-click "Open in New Tab" or "Open in New Window". But, as soon as I navigate to any other website, the open in new tab/window button works for them. Is there some setting I am missing that allows this to feature to work correctly? I don't have any code purposely preventing pages from being opened in the same window...don't know why that happens.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help :): I have an .aspx page that creates javascript on the fly within a button click event handler. The script creates a function AND CALLS THAT SAME FUNCTION that opens a new window which will contain another .aspx page. The new popup window opens just fine, however, the parent page from which the 'click' event originated from produces the error "The resource cannot be found" for some reason. Anyone

On a Page I want a user can select (a)name(s) from a so called "popup" window as well as selecting a date from a "popup" calendar. I found some examples by using JavaScript. But my question is can this also be achieved (and how) without JavaScript, and is it advisable (not using JavaScript in case its possible)? Thanks Guy

While reading c.l.j, I've noticed that some people prefer and indeed even recommend the use of "window.alert()" over "alert()". I can't find any technical reason to make this distinction, and seems to have a (tiny) amount overhead since window itself points to the global object, hence, a circular reference. (From everything I am reading, window is just a REFERENCE back to the global object, as opposed to a separate object.)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
