Hi Friends

I am trying to detect if there is popup blocker enabled in browsers. I got it except for Google chrome.

I'm using the code given below:

JavaScript

function detectPopupBlocker()
{
    var windowRef = window.open("Add.aspx","","directories=no,height=100,width=100,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,titlebar=no,top=0,location=no");
    if (!windowRef || typeof windowRef.closed == 'undefined')
    {
       alert("Popup is blocked in your browser, please turn off popup blocker before joining game");
    }
    else
    {
       windowRef.close();
    }
}
window.onload = detectPopupBlocker;

If any one knows how to detect popup blocker in chrome, please help me.

Thanks in advance

These thread will help you out: Detect blocked popup in Chrome[^]
detect when the Chrome Browser has popups blocked [^]

Though:
The code that you have shared across is not of a Popup. It's a new window. Strictly speaking, there is a difference between a Popup and a new window.

Read here:
Popup[^] Vs New Window[^]

Further, this article would clarify more:
What gets blocked - Popup or NewWindow?[^]

Like this.

C#

function openPopUpWindow(format)
            {

                var windowRef = wwindow.open("Add.aspx","","directories=no,height=100,width=100,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,titlebar=no,top=0,location=no");

                windowRef== null ||  typeof(windowRef) == "undefined" || (windowRef==null && windowRef.outerWidth == 0)  ||  (windowRef !=null && windowRef.outerHeight == 0)  || windowRef.test == "undefined")
                {
                    alert("The popup was blocked. You must allow popups to use this site.");
                }
                else if(windowRef) {
                    windowRef.onload = function() {
                        if (windowRef.screenX === 0) {
                            alert("The popup was blocked. You must allow popups to use this site.");
                             windowRef.close();
                        }
                    };
                }
            }
