Question

I have a button that needs to open a new window as a popup (under the parent page). In IE/Firefox, it works fine, but in chrome the popup appears over (on top of) the parent window.

Please suggest a fix.

use case/eg: Well, for eg if you see kayak.com or any travel website, you have the ability to search on other websites too..I want to do something similar so need the pop under…

Code: I am using a window.open(…….).blur(), but for some reason it isnt working in chrome.

I take back my comment, is possible.

The following worked for me. (tested latest production chrome)

var url = "yourURL.html";
window.open(url, "s", "width= 640, height= 480, left=0, top=0, resizable=yes, toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=no, copyhistory=no").blur();
window.focus();

Like all things, if you annoy your visitors you will have less visitors.
