Blocked pop up window

Question

Hi,
Could someone help me with a pop up window problem. I'm new
to dreamweaver, and am currently trying to build my own site. On my
home page, i have a link which visitors click on to 'open up a new
window' which contains my main Flash site. I've created the link in
dreamweaver like i believe i should do, with new behaviour new
window etc. This all works fine, but the problems occurs when its
online, as when visitors click on it online it says 'POP UP
BLOCKED' and if visitors have pop ups blocked automatically then
the link will never work. Can anyone advise on how to get passed
the blocked pop ups or make this window not a pop up?

Answer 1

It's a bit strange. Both of those links below the Flash lead
to the Adobe
site - you know that?
Also, you have applied the onclick event to a <p> tag,
and that's not
usually the best practice (and it's why you do not get the
pointer when you
hover over them) -
<p align="center" class="style2"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/','','')">click
animation to enter </p>
<p align="center" class="style4"
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/','','')">website
requires flash . click here for latest download </p>
As to the popup problem -
It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
earlier this
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2, the fix is already built
into DW's
interface.
