We use the Java method "showDocument" in our applets to pop up browser windows
when the user clicks on help buttons. After installing the Google toolbar
(http://toolbar.google.com/) in Internet Explorer, the browsers windows get
blocked if the user enabled the "Popup blocker" option. In contrast, Netscape's
popup blocking does not block showDocument.
Is there a better way to pop up a browser window and get a friendly reception,
as in Netscape? Is there some way to detect the Google Toolbar from within the
applet and offer an explanation and describe how to turn off the popup blocking
in a site-specific way?
We use showDocument with the "_blank" option so as not to destroy our applet.
The problem occurs in Internet Explorer 6 for Windows with either the Microsoft
or Sun JVM. There is no problem popping up an applet Frame.
