jQuery open popup window code does not work on Safari

Question

I have a simple function which opens up a popup window to show a rendered out preview email.

Works on all browsers except for Safari :(

$('#preview_email_btn').unbind('click').bind("click", function() {
    WHOAT.networking.postToServerWithAjax('/invite_preview', null, function (response) {
        var w = window.open("", "popupWindow", "width=640,height=600,scrollbars=yes");
        w.document.write(response);
    });
 });

How would this be updated to also support Safari?

have you tried using other browsers? – Gustavo Feb 12 '14 at 23:42 — Gustavo, Feb 12 '14 at 23:42
Ah you are right, it also does not work in FireFox :( – Leon Gaban Feb 12 '14 at 23:49 — Leon Gaban, Feb 12 '14 at 23:49
but are you getting to the function or not? – Gustavo Feb 12 '14 at 23:51 — Gustavo, Feb 12 '14 at 23:51

You have some restriction about popups at safari\chrome reference.

I would recommend you to use something like Jquery Modal UI, that way you don't have to worry about cross browser issues. Also check browser settings to allow popups.

Ah ok gonna do this, will render the response on another page and just redirect to that instead of a popup. It's an email preview so a modal over the page will be too big. Thanks – Leon Gaban Feb 12 '14 at 23:55
