Problems while loading popups in newer browsers

**tribalmp** · 03-28-2016, 10:03 PM

Hi,

Is there a new limitation on browsers popups or iframes?

FF - Opens 25 popups
OP - Opens 1 popup
Chrome - Opens 1 popup
IE - Opens 25 popups
Edge - didn't tested

What is the problem?

Also since my programing skills are old i did try old browsers for compatibility with an aplication that i was developing, more precisely Mozilla 1.6 and Netscape 7.0 but they didn't work. Certificate issues.

Are you saying you WANT to open popups? Little tip, you know how many would open here? ZERO!

Are you just TRYING to piss off users?

Modern browsers block all unrequested popups.

No, i need popups or frames for the purpose of sending multiple post request.

This isn't unrequested popups, it's an action method after user interaction.

You don't need popups for that. In fact sending multiple post requests is never required.

Any popups not opened by clicking on an <a> link are unrequested - so yours definitely are. Many people now have their browser set so the only popups that open require that they right click on the <a> link and select to open as a popup.

...that SOUNDS like nonsense, but do you have an example of what you are trying to accomplish in actual code? If we can't see where you are at, we can't see what may or may not be going wrong.

So long as files aren't involved (or on modern browsers even if they are) this sounds more like a job for ajax, with a normal page load fallback... aka the old "unwritten rule of JavaScript" -- if you can't make a page that works without JavaScript FIRST, you likely have no business adding scripting to it.

I'm trying to post the code here for days... connection goes down...

Code:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Email Form</title>
        <script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    </head>
    <body> 
        <div id="mainform">
                <form id="form">
                    <h3>Fill Your Information!</h3>
                    <div>
                        <label>Email :</label>
                        <br/>
                        <input type="text" id="email"/><br/>
                        <br/>
                        <input type="button" id="submit" onclick="myFunction()" value="Submit"/>
                    </div>
                </form>
<script>
function myFunction() {
    var email = document.getElementById("email").value;
    var dataString = 'email=' + email + '&fullname=';

        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "http://127.0.0.1/file.php",
            data: dataString,
            cache: false,
        });
        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "http://127.0.0.1/file.php",
            data: dataString,
            cache: false,
        });
	alert('The email was send, Thanks');
    }
</script>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>
