Blocking Pop-Up Blockers?

SheepGuy · 2009-08-17, 01:24 AM

Anyone know of a way to do it? I don't care if it works for every browser out there, but one that would work for IE would be great!

I doubt it is possible to block pop-up blockers, but you may want to try presenting your pop-up data in a more unconventional manner, maybe a javascript activated CSS overlay?

Something along these lines would probably not be caught by a pop-up blocker but still accomplishing your goal.

LOL, you ask how to stop pop ups and the answer you get is how to bypass blockeers

If you read his title, "Blocking pop-up blockers", your confusion may be cleared up.

LOL, actually, blocking pop-up blockers is what I want to do. I've never used pop-ups before but I do need to use one pop-up on a new project, and if the surfers can't see the pop-up the project is pretty much toast.

Also, this is a javascript pop-up if that helps.

I thought I had read something here about how to do it, but I can't find it.

What you might consider is jquery with an intermodal window. I believe dialog is the one you want. The advantage here is that it isn't a popup, and you can even dim the active screen to get an active click to get rid of it before proceeding. You can also have it pop a box on the screen without it taking the ability to still navigate the page.
