[Proto-Scripty] Re: window.open on ajax response
The browser probably blocks the popup because it is not opened by a direct action of the user. What you may try is: - On the click event: - Open the window on a blanc (or temporary) url - Launch the Ajax request - On the Ajax's onComplete: - Change the url of the previously opened window Eric On Jul 13, 11:15 am, ColinFine colin.f...@pace.com wrote: On Jul 12, 5:31 am, Hari hariharanwebm...@gmail.com wrote: But even this doesn't help since function call happens by a call back and not user action.

Hi, But even this doesn't help since function call happens by a call back and not user action. So the browser popup blocker click in. One way i could think is make the Ajax call synchronous. But I think its not a great idea to make the Ajax call synchronous... I don't see how this would make any difference. It makes a difference because most browsers' popup blocking will allow a window to be opened by code running during an event handler for a user-initiated event (like a click), but block windows opened by code running at other times (like an Ajax callback). So the synchronous version would still be running during the event handler, so _may_ work. But then the OP would have to make a synchronous ajax call, which is a Bad Thing. :-) -- T.J.

I guess one easy option is to call a outside function like
new Ajax.Request('someURL', {
onSuccess: function(response) {
var success = response.responseText;
success == true ? openPopup(http://google.com;) :
openPopup(http://yahoo.com;);
}
});
function openPopup(site){
window.open(site);
}
mmm but what I don't know is if the browser is going to keep blocking
the new window... the only difference with this is the scope.
but that should be work...

Hi,
I have hyperlink. When a user clicks on it, i would make a ajax call
to get the location where a new browser window should be opened.
for example:
new Ajax.Request('someURL', {
onSuccess: function(response) {
var success = response.responseText;
success == true ? window.open(http://google.com;) :
window.open(http://yahoo.com;);
}
});
But problem is the window.open is called as part of onSuccess
callback. So the browser popup blocker blocks the call.
How can I get around this problem and want the popup to open.
Thanks,
Hari
