Problem: Opening a popup with JavaScript in Edge or Internet Explorer results in a new browser window instead of a popup window. For example:
|
1 |
var popup = window.open("https://www.duckduckgo.com/", "DDG", "height=640,width=960,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,location=no,status=no"); |
Communication between the new window and originating site is not possible either, since both popup (above) and window.opener (in the new window) are undefined.
Solution: This can happen if the originating site’s URL and popup URL are not in the same security zone. Ensure that both are in the Trusted Sites zone in Internet Options!
