Why am I having trouble with pop-up windows? Cannot open a pop-up using a link.

Frank Webster, Nancy Cabral,


Some browsers, especially newer versions of Internet Explorer and
Firefox are blocking popup windows by default, because they are often
abused for very agressive advertisement and most users are highly
annoyed by them.

All browsers have a feature in their options menue to allow popups for
specific sites (recommended) or in general (not recommended, sometimes
dangerous).
