I've been trying for the past 3 hours to get my svg web site to open popups, and all I ever get is "Permission Denied" errors in internet explorer. I've tried everything I could find on google, and nothing works. I've even gone to the point of just calling window.open() blank with no parameters, and still get a permission denied error. What is the currently accepted standard for opening popups in internet explorer... that works?

Internet Explorer Blank Page However, if you'd rather a new tab open a blank page, here's how to set it. For IE 9 and IE 10, click the gear icon on the right side and select Internet Options. Under General, click the Tabs button. Under “When a New Tab is Opened,” change the option to open to: A Blank Page and click OK.
Normally yes it works everywhere however not all the features are supported by all browsers.
This is part of the security changes made in IE6. Now you can only call "window.open" from within a user-initiated event. For example, your code would work inside an element's onclick event. The "window.open" MSDN page says this:
"This method must use a user-initiated action, such as clicking on a link or tabbing to a link and pressing enter, to open a pop-up window. The Pop-up Blocker feature in Internet Explorer 6 blocks windows that are opened without being initiated by the user."
