can you give a little more detail please. Are you talking about a browser window? How is the new window triggered? - from a link or from within a function or something else?

yes, i'm talking about a browser window... window.open(link) is inside a function that displays a msgbox with "OK" and "CANCEL" buttons... once the user clicks on "OK".... a new window should be opened... btw,i don't wanna use window.open() because windows that are opened using this method are automatically blocked by pop-up blockers...

thanks,

window.open() is not blocked by click events on most (if not all) browsers.

The only window.open() events that are blocked are ones that are called without any interaction by the user.

ey, i did some testing... i have a yahoo pop-up blocker... yahoo blocks the new window which should be opened after i click on the OK button in my message box... i am using window.open() method for the action of the OK button...

anyways, somebody told me that i can customize the msgbox OK button by incorporating "href" in it... any idea how to do that? anyone?

thanks again,

I've never heard of that, and would be very interested in finding out how.

hello!

i modified my code and conducted some testing... removing the msgbox and going directly to the window.open() method worked... the pop-up blocker was not able to block the new window... ;D
