Help needed.

I have done a lot of R&D to come up with the solution on unblocking the pop-up on the browser but not been able to resolve this issue so I would like to know your valuable thoughts/solutions.

My requirement; 1. When user fills the form and get the successful message, then the new window appears in the same browser with external link.

I have tried the below tricks to solve this.

  1. I have write the below code for new window.

    window.open("/","NewWindow",'width=100,height=100');

OR

setTimeout(function() {
  window.open("/","NewWindow",'width=100,height=100');
},1000);

OR

open("/","NewWindow",'scrollbars=no,resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,width=100,height=100,left=-1000,top=-1000');
  1. Also I'm created an anchor and trigger click event, but pop-up is still getting blocked.

Please help.

I doubt it is possible. If a popup is blocked on the user's end, it's blocked. You cannot programmaticly unblock it.

However, you got alternatives:

  • You can use modals: Although it looks like one, a modal is not a popup, and it won't be blocked.
  • You can also ask the user to unblock your site from the popup blockers (show them a warning). Many sites do this.
