Fixed: Window.showModalDialog And Popup Blockers
Aug 15, 2007
I created a little script on a section of a website that password protects the page. It gives a user 3 tries to enter the correct password and then if they get it wrong, it moves them to another page that says they don't have access.
Recently, I upgraded it to do a window.showModalDialog instead of just using a plain javascript prompt as they don't look as nice and clear as a customized JSP could.
However, now that we've sent that upgrade out, we're finding that some of our users are not seeing the window.showModalDialog and it just loads the page (not the no access page).
The script is below. When I look through it, it looks to me that a user with an active popup blocker should just be sent straight to the no_access.jsp file, but that isn't what's happening. Code:

Below is a snippet of code that i use in a script to call another file which open a new window, the problem is that popup blockers are blocking this. What i need to know is there a way to recode this so popup blockers can not block the new window opening?
".iif($showpopup==true,"
<script>
var force=0
function setwinfocus() {
window.focus()
}
window.open('mcfpopup.php','MakoCashFlow','width=790,height=500,left=10,top=10,toolbar=yes,menubar=n o,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,resizable=yes,location=yes');
setTimeout("setwinfocus()",1500);
</script>
")."
";
?>

Been using popup windows for years on my websites, launched by onClick, and they are not blocked, I would assume because they are called from the current page in the same domain. I'm using basically the same script in a new application, but it's launched by onLoad, again from a page in the same domain. It's being blocked by most browsers.

I have merged two scripts to make a popup that comes up even if blocked, and is for first time visitor only (cookie). The problem is that the way I'm doing it, it might show one or more times to the visitor. I don't want that because it will be irritating and this is a high-priority client. I'm posting the whole script because I think the problem is calling the popup before checking the cookie, but not sure how to rearrange things.
Also, I did search and found some good dhtml stuff but don't want to rewrite. This was supposed to be done last night so if I can fine tune this for now, I'll have time to rewrite something better (or at least play around with another script). Also, the popup refuses to come up in IE - I have IE6, but I detest IE and their site doesn't even load in it so whatever. I tested in FFox3, Opera 10 and Safari and it seems to work but like I say because of the onclick - it will load at any click until the user goes to a different page. I added a refresh in there but it just made things worse - too much going on for the user at that point.

I dont know much about the functionality on what causes some popups to trigger a browsers blocker and some not to.
Situation: I have an account information page (where users can edit their account details) one of the fields the user can edit comes at a cost. For billing I am using a 3rd party billing portal (standard form action pointing to the service & value is passed via post variable)
-user hits submit (not on the 3rd party billing form, my fake ajax button)a service is selected that cost $1 (lets say)verification DB is updated (no page reload)value field is updated in the 3rd party billing form to reflect the additional service I then initiate the form submit on the 3rd party billing form into a popup window I do not want to user to leave the site, I want the $1 billing window to pop up, they take care of it then close the window returning back to the site. In order to get the form to popup in a window I set the forms target to the popup window:
Code:
window.open("", paysys, "width=760,height=550"); functionality everything is working perfect, except most browsers catch the popped up window in their popup blockers. Anyone know how I can create a popup that isnt flagged by the browsers?

<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript">
/*
Notes:
1. edge & help attributes do not work.
2. "height" & "width" must be entered before "center"
3. if you should choose to set "center=yes" do not put in "left" and "top"
4. Minimize button not hidden, but when clicked the window will not disappear
5. Aside from the aforementioned, all features should react the same *fingers crossed*
6. Still in the works, so don't expect miracles. Any problems/queries/complaints please don't hesitate.

Its the first time Ive used the showModalDialog function and was wondering how best to size the dialog to compensate for the window borders.
My command looks a bit like this:
500px; dialogWidth: 700px; dialogTop: 150px; dialogLeft: 150px; edge: Raised; center: No; help: No; scroll: No; status: Yes;")'
While I set the width and height to 700 and 500 respectively, the internal size of the window.document object comes out to be 694 and 448.

I was trying to find a browser independent way to raise a modal dialog. I know that MS IE has showModalDialog and Firefox has an attribute modal for window.open but I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution out there that would disallow anyone to browse from a pop-up window without closing it. Disabling the text highlighting and right click are not required, just disabling the user from browsing with the dialog open.

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

I have a popup window which has the search form in. What I want to do is for the popup window to close once the form is submitted, and to post the form data to a page on the main window.
Is anyone able to advise. As the main page is dynamic, it is not possible to give the page a name.

I have a couple of utility windows - a calculator and a calendar that popup
from my main window. I would like them to always stay in front of the parent
window until they are shut down with there own close buttons. As it is, when
you click back to the parent window, of course it comes in front of the
child windows. Can I do this?

I need to open a popup window from a PHP site and pass in some parameters to use in the pop up window. I have the params in an input box and need to get the val of the box into a param and pass it to the new popup window. All pages are local and in the same folder. The id of the input box is 'ddutykey'. The name of the new window would be showduty.php if possible.

I have a form that is in a popup window. I need the form to submit to the opener window. Is is possible to do that? The opener window is the main window so it is does not have a name and there are no framesets.
<form action="something.php" method="post" target="????">
I'd like to use window.opener in the target but that's JavaScript...
I know somebody has done this before and has the code.

I am trying to insert the value of a variable gathered from a popup window as an option in a <select> menu on the main window. This is the code I have so far:
Code:
var newOption = document.createElement("option");
newOption.value = '<?=$userfile_name?>'
newOption.appendChild(document.createTextNode('<?=$userfile_name?>'));
select.insert(newOption);
How do I do the rest? I just want to add this new value to the end of the list.

I need the most efficient way of passing a variable from a parent window to a popup window.The reason i say "most efficient" is because i currently do it like this from the parent:[code]But this is inefficient because at times it randomly alerts "undefinded".Anyways, can someone tell me a more fail safe way to pass a var to a popup so that i will be able to access it 100% correctly.
