Code to Disable Block-Up Popper!
by Wayne M on Mar 18, 2008 at 8:55:59 pm

Is there a code that can be built in to Dreamweaver that will automatically disable Pop-Up Blocker?

I've built a website for use on a local CD. When my client puts the CD in and it autoruns, she gets a lot of error messsages asking her to allow for pop ups. I think her computer is looking at slices as pop ups. This seems to happen a lot of IE7.
So the question is, is there either a code I can place in Dreamweaver or even an autorun program that will do this.

Thanks

The pop up blockers block pop ups that come up without any clicks. To work around the blockers you have to initiate the pop up to come up when a user clicks on something. That's why so many sites now have an ad come up when you click on the page - very annoying! Most pop up blockers don't block the pop-ups that are in response to you clicking on something to initiate them.

If your client's pop-up blocker is blocking all forms of new windows opening there's probably something wrong with their browser. Without more specifics it's hard to tell what the exact problem might be.

Hi,
I am having a similar problem...
When designing a web page in dreamweaver CS3 if I add a Flash Button to the page, and view it in I.E. the pop-up blocker blocks my button.

I can't use flash buttons for my home page menu for example, because my users can't see the buttons unless they turn off their po-up blocker. I dont think they'll want to do this..

First time users to my site will turn away...

How do I make a flash button the wont invoke the pop-up blocker..

Kind Regards

Carl Nielsen
