I am trying to implement a pop-up window similar to how Origin (click on the ‘Log In’ does it (pops up in another window with a specific size). I’ve tried going through their code but I cannot find out how they are doing it. I tried Googling this issue and someone said to use window.open, but I cannot find on the Origin website any reference to this code. I’ve also noticed that the when viewing the Origin website on IE, clicking the ‘Log In’ link will open the page in the same window as oppose to popping up another window. Is there some sort of IE detection going on? Why would Origin do that only for IE?

    They could be using window.open in an external JS file. Basically, they use that to open up a login page and saves all the login stuff in what is called PHP Sessions.

    It might not work in IE because IE doesn’t support a lot of the newer technologies that are being used right now. Honestly, it’s better to make the login page on the same window, because some browsers might disable popups, or some users might just find popup windows annoying.
