Has Safari 5.1 broken the Block Popup Windows feature?

I like most of the changes in Safari 5.1, but the Block Popup Windows feature doesn't seem to work any more. Is anyone else having this problem?

Same problem on windows 7 64-bit i3-based machine.

What happened to the "Block Popup Windows" menu item in Safari 6?

What happened to the "Block Popup Windows" menu item in Safari 6? Seems to be gone.

Shheesh! Loki is saying that this was a very useful tool/option. Is there any way to BRING IT BACK TO THE SAFARI MENU? Not how to do it in Preferences.
What I am saying is: What incompetent is responsible for this build of Safari? There was no reason to take that out... plenty of room in the Safari menu. But if you REALLY want to know why I'm ******, Older people can no longer go into "Appearances" and change the Fonts and Size without knowing how to use terminal or how to make .css files. (which doesn't work well anyway)
This build is infuriating.

Uninstalling the 'block popup window' using ' safari'... preferences security did not help. Can somebody please help?

Firefox is blocking popups that I want to see, even after I have unchecked the Block Popup Windows in Options.

There are several sites that provide popups that I want to see. Firefox had not been blocking them previously. Then today it did. I went to Options and listed these sites as exceptions. It still blocked them. I went to options and unchecked Block Popup Windows. It still blocked them. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled a new copy. It still blocks them. What do I do now?
BTW, this does not occur when I access the same sites with Internet Explorer.

I have the same issue. I am using windows 7 ultimate and have it on a laptop which has no issues. It is only one pop up i want to come up and it blocks it. I am using zone alarm as well, and I turn it off and it makes no difference. IE works and I HATE Microsoft. I wish Mozilla would come up with a fix.

Cannot block popup windows

Using Safari 3.1.
In the last couple of weeks I have noticed that popup windows are appearing, even though I have checked "block popup windows". If these are associated with a given site that I visit, I haven't figured out which.
Is anyone else having the same problem?

Sorry - but this does NOT solve the problem (Cannot block popup window). It will not prevent the same site (scanner2.malware-scan.com/5.swp/scan.php. .../) from popping up its window (and proceeding with an unauthorized download - of MS Windows .exe files) if you inadvertently revisit the site. So it is still an unresolved Safari "bug", as of 11 May 2008.
However, you CAN kill the download, using Safari > Quit, and then simply delete the .exe files from your Downloads folder.

Even though block popup windows is unchecked in content tab of options, I am still not getting any popups. Please help me.

Hi - Even though block popup windows is unchecked in content tab of options, I am still not getting any popups. Please suggest how to over come this problem.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Did you make sure that your security software isn't blocking the pop-ups?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

event.preventDefault();
$('#fadeout').show();
$('#pop1').find('.tab-content-people').html($(this).closest('.emp-card').find('.pop-content').html());
$('#pop1').show();
return false;

I believe the issue is that you are not actually searching against the result source you made in step #1.
It's not enough to make a result source, you have to tell the search results web part to use it.
Try this:
1. Go to the Pages library of Search Center
2. Create a new Search Results page
3. Edit the page, then edit the search results web part
4. Change the source for the search results web part to your source
5. Add the page to your Search Center navigation
6. Run the search on that page

Datepicker PopUp opens in the calling PopUp window

Hey Guys, I need some help on this...
I have a button that opens a PopUp window, and in this PopUp I have a "Date Picker" item,
And when I want to select a date, the calendar shows up in the same PopUp window, and I m loosing the calling PopUp(the first one).
How can I do so, that to have my PopUp window, and the calendart to show up in another PopUp?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
that's because of the Window Name you specified. Specify another one or use the popUp2 method which will create a unique name.
Hope that helps

Safari on Lion will not allow popup windows to return data to the website

I have a web-based application that uses pop-up windows to capture certain user changes. One example is the user changing the default number of hours to a new specific number. The problem is that with Safari on Lion, the data does not get returned to the website.
I have tested this function with Windows and IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari with no problem. I have tested it with my Macbook system running Snow Leopard and Safari, with no problem. I have tested it with my Macbook and Firefox with no problem. I've used the Firefox Firebug debugging tool with no errors found.
Debugging has proven that the data is being captured by the popup, and it is assigned to the returnValue. However, the website never receives that data - the object is empty. This error is happening with every popup I've tried in the system covering a wide range of uses.
The only thing I have found that fixes/masks the problem is turning on the Developer menu in Safari, and then starting Javascript debugging. In that mode the problem does not occur, but I can't find any errors to fix.
It seems as if there is some change in Lion that affects the security of popup windows and returned data, but an internet search turns up no similar complaints. I have been able to reproduce the error on 3 different Macs running Lion.
I have verified that pop-up windows are not blocked, and java and javascript are enabled. I've also compared the settings on my system with the failing systems and find no Safari settings that make any difference. I've tried all the simple things like system reboots, safari resets, and cookie cleaning.
I would appreciate any ideas or information that might help. I am an experienced developer but relatively new to Mac's.
Here is the code that calls the popup and waits for the returned data :
if (window.showModalDialog)
retVal = window.showModalDialog(templink, "name", "dialogWidth:275px;dialogHeight:350px");
else
retVal = window.open(templink, "name", "height=350, width=275,toolbar=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no,resizable=no, modal=yes");
if (retVal == 'cancel')
return;
else {
frmnewhrs.lid.value = tempid;
frmnewhrs.newhrs.value = retVal;
frmnewhrs.submit(); }
This is the code in the popup that captures and sends the new data :
function preSaveCheck() {
var tempstr = document.getElementById("newhrs").value;
if (tempstr.length > 0) {
window.returnValue = tempstr;
window.close();}
Thanks, Dave

Anti virus software installed on the Macs?

Blocking popup windows even when disabling the popup blocker

For quite some time now, Firefox has been blocking essential popup windows on my computer. It's not just those annoying ones, even those when I am trying to write an email and similar things. I have disabled the popup blocker and it does not change anything at all. It does not alert me that it has blocked anything either, it is simply as if I never clicked anything in the first place. I have tried adding exceptions to my popup blocker, and this does not work either. This is really frustrating and is interfering with my daily use of firefox, and forces me to use crappy explorer which does not block things. What can I do?

Hi Sachin
Thank you so much for the reply.
About your request, the codes that I used are:
HTML for the PopUp:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function popUp(URL) {
var iMyWidth;
var iMyHeight;
//half the screen width minus half the new window width (plus 5 pixel borders).
iMyWidth = (window.screen.width/2) - (250 + 10);
//half the screen height minus half the new window height (plus title and status bars).
iMyHeight = (window.screen.height/2) - (225 + 50);
//Open the window.
var win2 = window.open("http://xarao.businesscatalyst.com/caipiroska.html","Window2","status=no,height=450,width=500,resizable=yes,left=" + iMyWidth + ",top=" + iMyHeight + ",screenX=" + iMyWidth + ",screenY=" + iMyHeight + ",toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,location=no,directories=no");
win2.focus();
</SCRIPT>
For the Link:
javascript:popUp('http://xarao.businesscatalyst.com/caipiroska.html')
Of course for all the different links in the page I've changed the http of each image in both codes.

Thank you once more.

How to block popup windows that opens up on clicking a link?

Hi,
How to block pop-up windows that opens up when a link is clicked? The feature in IE is to set the Blocking level as 'High: Block all pop-ups (Ctrl + Alt to override)' in Pop-up Blocker settings.
Is there a similar feature in Mac?
Thanks & appreciate the support

In the menu bar, Safari > Preferences > Security > Web Content
Some popups will not be blocked by this method, but blockable popups will be.

Why doesn't the download popup window do what I tell it to?

In most cases when I download files, I want the popup window to ask me how to handle them - and it does. However, I have a subscription to the NYTimes crossword puzzles. For this type of file only, when I click on a file I want to open it immediately.
The popup window knows how to open these files: it says
You have chosen to open ....
What should Firefox do with this file?
Open with _Across Lite_
Save File
Do this automatically for files like this from now on (This option is checked, but I get the popup window anyway. Does automatically mean something different for you than it does for me?)

The server could be sending the ''Content-Disposition: attachment'' header. Install the InlineDisposition add-on and see if makes a difference.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/inlinedisposition/
If that doesn't help, the server could be sending the ''Content-Type: application/octet-stream'' header.
# What is the file extension for the crossword puzzles that you download?
# Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Developer, then Web Console (or press Ctrl+Shift+K).
# Load the web page with the file download link.
# Click the Clear button in the Web Console.
# Click the download link.
# In the Web Console, click the file request in question to examine it. In the little window that pops up, in the Response Headers section, what is the Content-Type header? It would be helpful if you'd [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?|provide a screenshot]].
