How do I prevent Google Chrome from blocking my popup?

by

Yes, popups should be a direct result of a user action. Doing them in ajax callback will not do the trick. Also, using async:false is bad – in FF it is known to block the whole browser. Think of some other way to do the check:

  • it could be the first thing you do in the popup
  • you can open the popup on click and manipulate it later when the callback fires
  • you can require the user to click again some button to trigger the popup (probably the worst solution)
  • you can do it on page load
