I hate pop ups, so as surely many of you now, I installed the Google bar with the popup blocker.
But one issue is coming now. I have some web projects where after a login page, I need to open the main window full screen without the menu bar or any decorations.
I am puzzled now how I am going to fix my Javascript code because obviously my legitimate new window has been considered legitimately by Google bar as a popup !
So what I am supposed to do now ? Very annoying, because of course I can click on Ctrl to open my new window, but what's about the users ? It make things complicated.
Including the fact that this feature will be part of the next IE, and i believe activate by default. I would like to see a little bit of intelligence in the behavior of these pop up blockers. Like for example that if a window.open is called from the same site, it consider this as perfectly valid. I know a lot of webtools working with full opened windows, I wonder how they will fix this.
