Pop ups created by window.open can get blocked by pop up blockers. You can add a new div layer that acts like a pop up to solve this.

Javascript Modal Dialog

Some of the problems with div pop ups are

. dropdown lists come in the way of these pop ups.

. on window resize the position has to be changed

etc

In the above page many of the issues with a div pop up has been solved.

Popup blockers only block unintended popups.

If your popup is displayed while handling a click event from the user, your popup might not be blocked by the popup blocker.

So as long as your user clicks on a button or a link to open the popup, it will be ok with current popup blockers.
