Javascript window.open not working in IE

Question

I want the link to open in a new window, but when I click on write_review in IE, it opens in a new tab. I checked the spaces in the arguments that cause the problem. But no problem with that.

I checked by URL: - Javascript window.open is blocked by IE popup blocker

But it does not work for me ..

This is my working code in another browser.

// Opening pop-up window for the write review jQuery('a#write_review').click(function() { var w = 1000; var h = 650; var left = (screen.width/2)-(w/2); var top = (screen.height/2)-(h/2); var planid=$(this).parent().parent().find('input[name="data[PlanIdsel]"]').val(); var providerid=$(this).parent().parent().find('input[name="data[ProviderIdsel]"]').val(); var rep=$(this).parent().parent().find('input[name="data[Repsel]"]').val(); var url = "<?php echo $this->webroot ?>"+"enrollments/write_rating/"+planid+"?Rep="+rep+"&providerId="+providerid; window.open(url, 'subWind', 'status, scrollbars, resizable, dependent, width='+w+', height='+h+', left='+left+', top='+top); }); 

I ask you to notify me or correct me.

Answer 1

check this How do you get window.open to work in Internet Explorer 7?

This is part of the security changes made in IE6. Now you can call "window.open" only from a user-initiated event. For example, your code will work inside the onclick element. The MSDN "window.open" page says this.

Answer 2

 $(document).ready(function(){ $("a#ID of your link").click(function(){ var w = 1000; var h = 650; var left = (screen.width/2)-(w/2); var top = (screen.height/2)-(h/2); var url = "your url"; window.open(url, 'subWind', 'status, scrollbars, resizable, dependent, width='+w+', height='+h+', left='+left+', top='+top); }); }); 

this should work.
