I am opening a popup after main window load.

Problem:

When user actually click on link the popup opens without complaining anything. But when I am using Javascript call to click on href, I am getting popup blocker.

I am suspecting that, browser identifies that, popup is opening without any actual operation by user and that's why it is blocking popup.

In herf, I am calling a javascript method to open the popup. I searched all the questions regarding opening popup and simulating the click like this, these works fine to simulate the click but still getting popup blocker. Is there any workaround to fool browser?

  • possibly u may try [jquery popups](https://jqueryui.com/dialog/), some more [links](http://www.jquery4u.com/windows/14-jquery-modal-dialog-boxes/) –  Apr 09 '14 at 07:05
  • It's quite irritating that, if user clicks on the link. there is no issue but it is not allowing script to open popup, while I am in same domain. – Anoop Apr 09 '14 at 08:03

You can't fool the browser per-se in this scenario. You could however, launch a div as an overlay on the main window if that's an option.
