Stop Pop Up Blockers

**Lee** · 03-28-2004, 05:02 AM

Been doing some tinkering on Google and happened by this nifty peice of code which claims to stop several of the most popular pop-up blockers including the Google one..

PHP Code:


<script language="JavaScript">

<!--

var exit=0;



function stopError() {

    return true;

    }

window.onerror = stopError;



//var exit=0;

function blocker() {

    if(exit == 0) {

    window.open("http://www.domain.com/console.html","exitr","toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,location=no,width=200,height=200"); }

}

// -->



<!--NoConsoleOnMembers

document.domain = document.domain.substring(document.domain.indexOf('.')+1);

// -->



</script>

<body OnUnload="blocker();">

I beleive someone was asking about a code to stop popup blockers recenty (Fister maybe?) so figured i would share this :groovy:

Let me know how it works out for you

Here is the orignal thread that I started: http://forums.gaywidewebmasters.com/...ghlight=pop+up

I know others were very interested on getting their hands on something to stop these blockers.

Thanks Lee

nope, this code does not work with the google toolbar popup blocker

cheers,

Luke..

It does work but you actually do have to close the browser window instead of just refreshing it

Actually.. it appears i missed a line out of the original coding i used.. edited the original post.. it should now work properly.. apologies.

Is it a hot idea to defeat a popup blocker because someone clearly does not intend to see pop ups? Just asking. :army:

You know i found myself asking that earlier but only because i forgot to turn back off the toolbar popup blocker..

There are certain sites where popups are required... for example this one.. the Google Toolbar will stop you receiving notification of PM's through the mall conole that pops up.. just one example that comes to mind anyway.

I just dont see why a surfer shouldnt have a choice in whether they want to, or not, see consoles.. consoles apart from being used for marketing reasons, in mainstream, play an integal part of some websites navgation system.

This site requires popups?

I have a blocker on -- what am I missing?

Awesome, it works like a charm! Now I have to go edit about 50 sites

thanks, Lee!

cheers,

Thanks! This is far simpler scripting than anything I was able to find in Google searches.

Whether or not to defeat a popup blocker is a business/marketing decision. How many sales do you make with the unblocked popup? How many sales do you lose from potential return visitors who decide not to return because you defeated the popup blocker?

I was thinking about this myself....hopefully I will be able to report some stats in a few weeks time.

cheers!
