User triggered popup windows won't be blocked. **Auto-open** popups are likely to be blocked. Are yours user-triggered or auto-open? — techfoobar, Dec 18 '12 at 12:12
to overcome this, people use popup divisions. For example, Fancybox. http://fancybox.net/ — Vijay Sarin, Dec 18 '12 at 12:25
@dark - but some of the social websites allow to open popup windows, event we enable the popup blocker. — ELAYARAJA, Dec 18 '12 at 12:26
so, how are you triggering the popup? I mean is it a Click or Key Press or What? — Vijay Sarin, Dec 18 '12 at 12:31

Popup blocker is supposed to stop popup windows attached to such events as onload and onunload (and other events not directly associated with the person requesting a popup) from appearing but is not supposed to block those attached to an onclick event on a link (and other events that can be taken to mean that the person has requested it).

Not all browsers are smart enough to realize that if the onclick event on a link calls a function and the purpose of that function is to open a popup window that the popup has in fact been requested. They see the popup code in the function but are not clever enough to see that this code is called as a result of an action by the person using the browser. Coding our popup that way leads to the popup being blocked despite the fact that it was requested, a sure way to get someone annoyed that your site doesn't work properly despite the fact that the problem is actually their browser.

The way to fix this for many of these dumb browsers is to place the popup code into the onclick itself instead of calling a function.

For Example,

<a href="some_page.html" onclick="window.open('some_other_page.html')">Open Popup</a>
