In what circumstances do blockup blockers in browsers activate, and in what circumstances do they not?
Can you ever use an onclick event on a link to trigger a popup (other than target = _blank) or will that always trigger the blockers?
Most popup blockers are triggered when a popup is launched indirectly from a user action.
Some popup blockers are triggered when a user clicks, but most are not. Basically, if the popup is triggered within a click handler (or code that it calls), you are generally okay.
If possible, I would recommend avoiding popups entirely. They tend to disrupt the user experience, with a few exceptions.
