JavaScript OpenWindow code .. <head> <title>Untitled</title> <script language=javascript> <!-- self.name = 'hertz_popup'; var winIsOpen = new Object; var isIE3 = (navigator.appVersion.charAt(0) == '2' && navigator.appVersion.indexOf('AOL 3.0') == -1); function openWindow(name, url, attributes) { var w = null; var wait = 0; var d = new Date; if (winIsOpen[name] && !window.focus) { wait = 500; window.open('', name, attributes).close(); winIsOpen[name] = false; } setTimeout("w = window.open('" + url + "', '" + name + "', '" + attributes +"')", wait); winIsOpen[name] = true; } //--> </script> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to www.hertz.com and make reservation 2. After confirmation of Reservation select link to view Popup Window that show summary screen. 3. Reservation can be cancelled on web site .. 4. IE is able to show the Popup Window. Actual Results: No Popup Window was created to show me a summary of my itinerary Expected Results: Popup window should have been displayed showing my itinerary .. The Frame source appears to have IE specific code but I couldn't discern anything specific to IE that should have prevented the display of window although I could be wrong ..
Are you blocking popup windows? The way that page opens the window from a timeout makes it look just like an advertising popup, so we block it.
Yes I am blocking Popup Windows, when I enable Poup windows the window Popups as expected ..
Right. Ccing danm; not really sure what we can do here...
Irumbo: This thing you're doing, opening a window in a timeout; it's one of several ways that obnoxious website designers open windows that you didn't ask for. So that's one of the things that popup blocking blocks. I suppose we should document on mozilla.org exactly what doesn't work when you activate popup blocking. Mozilla 1.2 still has all-or-nothing popup blocking. Future versions will allow the user to block popups by website, so you could leave blocking on in general but unblock individual sites that use suspicious-looking window opening techniques legitimately. I'm going to call this bug a duplicate of the bug to implement site-by-site blocking. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 166442 ***
