I second what Sergey said. That's the whole point of having a popup blocker! Why not just open something like a jquery ui dialog ?

Good idea, a 5. It could be even the modal window (OP can find many samples).

The answer is as simple as "no you cant".

Imagine you turn on a popup blocker on your browser and some malicious users is still able to open a popup when you are browsing a site - beats the whole idea of a popup blocker, doesn't it.

So rather than read the existing solutions, which would explain why there is no way of doing what you are trying to do, you decided to post your question as a SOLUTION to someone else's question?

This is a question of the type: "Doing X is not allowed. How to do X?" :-)

If a popup blocker allowed you to do a popup, it would be a very bad blocker, and people would not use it.

Please understand that a popup blocker is always a step ahead of you: it uses interface to a concrete Web browser which in turn take a total control of all rendering and scripting on the client side. And your application is supposed to work with all kinds of HTTP client software and be somewhat abstracted from it. From this point, it's easy to understand that it's much easier for a blocker to block your code then break this blocking.
