How can I bypass IE's popup blocker so my JavaScript popup works?

I have to open a new window

window.open();

But in IE, it will detects a popup and block, if I allow then the window is opened.

How can I bypass this popup blocker and open it directly?

Most browsers will not block a popup when you click a link, provided that the popup window is on the same domain.

If it's a cross site popup, it will be blocked, and you cannot stop it. Even attempting to bypass it in that case is black hat.

An alternative to a popup window would be to use a modal dialog. There are many jQuery options available, take a look:

How are you trying to open the popup? If it is through a user click I guess it shouldn't be a problem, unless you are using 3rd-party tools to block popups.

Although if you are trying to open on a mouse event or load event you will not be able to without user consent.

You can't bypass any good popup blocker. The reason why it is called a popup blocker is because it blocks popups.
