Hi,

I would like to open a new popup window from javaScript, but it can't open directly and asks me to press the control key.

The message is as follows:

Popups were blocked on this page.
Press the "ctrl" key to allow popup.

Kindly appreciate your help.

If popups are blocked, you will not be able to circumvent it this way.

Could this issue have something to do with "trusted sites" configuration of the browser?

To avoid website problems with popup blockers you could use an alternative method for popup windows. Have a look at the links below for more info and examples.
