Question

I am opening an popup in Javascript with:

function popup(title,w,h,site) {
    x = screen.availWidth/2-w/2;
    y = screen.availHeight/2-h/2;

    var date = new Date()
    var ticks = date.getTime();

    var popupWindow = window.open(
        title,"popup"+ticks,'width='+w+',height='+h+',left='+x+',top='+y+',screenX='+x+',screenY='+y+',resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=yes,titlebar=yes,hotkeys=yes,status=yes,dependent=no,location=1');
    popupWindow.document.write(site);
    return popupWindow;
  }

When I right click the new window, the “save as”-dialog is deactivated in chrome.

How can I enable it? What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

the attribute status should be 1 not yes. This should be what is preventing Chrome from treating the popup as a new window.

Also, open() takes parameters in this order:

window.open(URL,name,specs,replace)

So try:

window.open("about:blank", title, 'width='+w+',height='+h+',left='+x+',top='+y+',screenX='+x+',screenY='+y+'resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=yes,titlebar=yes,hotkeys=yes,status=yes,dependent=no,location=1')
