Nice little code chunk, saving to my code bases :) Yes, pop-up blockers are a pain, but we have instructed all of our users to add the base 'domain name' of the company into the pop-up-blocker "allowed" list.
Fortunately, there are other applications (like our expense entry system) which have this same issue as well.

The test code can attempt to create an off-screen popup window and then close it, and if an exception is thrown it failed because of a popup blocker. The test would be something like the code below, which you would run in the onload() handler of a page body. You can put this on a login page or some other page that first-time users go to. try { var top = 0; var left = screen.width; var testWin = window.open('PopupTest.jsp','PopupTest','width=1,height=1,left=' + left + ',top=' + top + ',scrollbars=no,toolbar=no,menubars=no,location=no,status=no,titlebar=no '); var testWinName = testWin.name; testWin.close(); } catch (e) { window.focus(); alert("Popup blockers must be disabled to use this application."); } } It would be nice if Remedy did this for you. It's not uncommon for users to have 2 or even 3 popup blockers installed these days.

The Yahoo toolbar in particular seems to block either dialog boxes or error messages. Is there any way to detect the use of a popup blocker and instruct the user to disable it? Or a way to write the workflow that it won't be affected? Everyone uses IE6. Thanks!
