Detecting if a popup has been blocked

Opening and closing a window

Detecting if a popup has been blocked

by  BillyRayPreachersSon  Posted    (Edited  )
This works for me in IE6 and FF1 to detect whether a popup was blocked or not:

Code: 
<html>
<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	<!--
		function openWin() {
			var winHandle = window.open('http://www.google.co.uk/', '', '');
			if (winHandle == null) alert('Popup was blocked');
		}
	//-->
	</script>
</head>
<body onload="openWin();">
</body>
</html>
