Question

I am working on mvc2 and i’m trying to open from javascript in a new window something.
if i only use inside the js function window.open(“action/action/”+param) like this

function(){ 
 window.open("action/action/"+param);
} 

it works perfectly and the browser does not warn me that it is a new popup that i’m opening.
But if i make an ajax call before the window.open, the browser tells me that is a new popup and if i accept it.

if (json.data && json.data.URL)
{
      window.open("action/action/"+param);//opens in a new window only if i accept popups 
}

how can i make it work without the browser considering it as popup?

You can’t popup a window “randomly” it needs to be right after the user has clicked something or did an action so that the browser doesn’t think it’s a random ad popup.
