I know that there are many threads on how to defeat popup blockers. In this case, I am not trying to do this. By default, browsers do not block all-pop-ups. Valid legal, for example, when users click on it. This is a good test: http://www.popuptest.com/goodpopups.html (works in IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera)
As the aforementioned test site allows legitimate pop-ups, it directly associates the onclick event with the launch of a new window.
In my case, I cannot just launch a popup. I need to check if the user-entered alphanumeric password. As I did this, the input is checked through ajax, and if it is valid, it window.open()is called to launch the window. Alas, all the blocking pop-ups block this.
Is there any other way to do this? I do not want to start the window if the input is invalid. If the input is invalid, the error message is displayed on the first page, and not in a new popup. It is foolish to run a window to tell the user that it is invalid.
Any thoughts or suggestions, how can I check the input, and also allow the display of a legitimate popup?
Thank.
Edited to include my (simplified) code
HTML form:
<form id="form-passcode">
<input id="input-passcode" type="text" name="input-passcode" /><a class="submit" onclick="javascript:passcode_check(); return false;" href="javascript:">Go</a>
</form>
Javascript (using jQuery):
function passcode_check() {
var refPasscode = $('#input-passcode');
var data = $('#form-passcode').serialize();
$.ajax({
url: check_passcode.php',
data: data,
dataType: 'json',
type: 'post',
success: function (j) {
if (j.status == 1) {
newwindow = window.open('http:
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
}
else {
}
}
});
}
}
, ajax, , , . <a href="http://google.com" onclick="newwin(this.href);return false" onfocus="this.blur()">Launch</a> $('#form-passcode').html();, , . , .
