Pocket Internet Explorer and Pop-Up Windows
Posted by Jon Westfall in "SOFTWARE" @ 04:53 AM
"Pop ups are usually implemented using window.open. IE Mobile will support window.open only if the user directly initiates an action that causes script to call window.open. For example, if the page has a link and script to open a new window when that link is clicked, window.open will work when the user clicks the link. But if the page’s script calls window.open on an onload event, window.open will not work. So pop ups are prevented. When window.open is allowed to work, it will load content in the same window because IE Mobile does not support multiple windows."
Jason Langridge has posted a brief "For Your Information" (FYI) blurb about how Pocket IE handles javascript window.open requests. Interesting way to handle them to still allow sites to work, yet block annoying popups. Just one question in my mind: why doesn't Windows Mobile support multiple open pages? :?
