FastSnail Pop-Up blocker from Safari on window.open with ActionSupport.onComplete (iPad/iPhone)
Hello everyone,
I get the ‘This site is attempting to open a pop-up window – Block - Allow’ on Safari only, in the below context. Can anyone help me to get rid of it? Thanks in advance.
A VF page (Item) has an ‘Show’ icon that, when clicked, is opening a NEW VF page (Gallery) to display the pictures of the item, in a separate window/tab.
Before calling Gallery, Item inserts an encrypted cookie (picRecId) build with an Apex method (encryptCookie), that is decrypted by Gallery constructor with another Apex method (decrytCookie).
It looks like this:
Item VF page:
‘oncomplete’ makes sure that when Gallery opens, the picRecId cookie has been inserted. This works fine on all platform BUT I get the pop-up blocker on Safari (iPad/iPhone).
<img src="https://.../showpictureicon" />
<apex:actionSupport event="onclick" action="{!encryptCookie}"
oncomplete="window.open('gallery', 'gallery')" reRender="itemAopNul" >
<apex:param name="picRecId" value="{!ref.id}" />
</apex:actionSupport>
The turnaround I am using for now, which I feel is not robust enough:
Below works with ‘onsubmit’. The pop-up blocker does not appear, but there is a risk that the picRecId cookie is not yet inserted when ‘Gallery’ loads = no good.
Furthermore, trials and error shows me that if the timer is set to 3000, rather than 1000, the pop-up blocker does appear, fur unclear to me reason. If set to 100, the cookie is not inserted on time.
<img src="https://.../showpictureicon" />
<apex:actionSupport event="onclick" action="{!encryptCookie}"
onsubmit="setTimeout(function(){window.open('gallery', 'gallery');}, 1000);" reRender="itemAopNul" >
<apex:param name="picRecId" value="{!ref.id}" />
</apex:actionSupport>
Is there any solution that 1)Makes sure that the picRecId cookie is inserted BEFORE Gallery loads and 2)The pop-up block does not appear?
Thanks again in advance for your help.
All the best,
Jerome

Thanks for the quick reply. I am looking into the first link, trying how to implement it in SFDC. Would you have any examples handy?
Also why does the pop-up blocker appear only on Safari iPad/iPhone and none of the other devices/browsers. Even Safari on Mac does not have this issue? Thanks in advance,
Jerome
