To be honest Lawrence, I think the only way to get round a pop-up blocker that works on all pop-ups (including those generated by a click) is to open the link in the same window rather than a new one. Other than that, you'll have to include instructions for users to turn off their pop-up blocker for the particular site they're viewing.
Most blockers, including IE's, allow themselves to be disabled on a per-site basis.

With the snippet of JavaScript that Mark supplied above, I still get the information bar and no JavaScript run unless you choose to allow it. This was the main problem and reason for the post actually. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lawrence Carriere Sent: Friday, November 26, 2004 12:37 PM To: Web Standards Group Subject: [WSG] IE's New JavaScript Blocking Feature I've got two questions but as they are different topics completely, I will separate them into two different threads. They kind of relate, but not enough, so here's the first one regarding IE's New JavaScript Blocking Feature: ---------- IE's new content blocking features are wreaking havoc on my methods and designs! For the longest time I've been using the included JavaScript w/ rel="external" (http://www.sitepoint.com/article/standards-compliant-world) method to have links open up new browser windows while keeping the code valid. I know that I've got to use these methods to keep the code valid as standards compliance outlines that you shouldn't opening new content in different windows. BUT! With some of my applications, I'd like to have new windows open while keeping my code valid anyway. The extremely irritating this is, no IE has that lovely content blocker (added in with Service Pack 2) that cause the JavaScript to be blocked. Sure you can just tell it to include the content and off you go but for those that don't know any better, (and trust me, I to Tech Support for an ISP and there are a lot of people that don't know any better), it's a real pain and the chances that your pages will not be rendered properly are too high. Any thoughts? Ideas?
