Popup Tests - New Site!
This popup test page can now be found at the new Popup Blocker Test.
This popup test page includes a variety of tests that use very uncommon methods to open popup windows, some of the tests are not even real popup windows, therefore they can't be blocked by a popup blocker. These tests are included because a large number of sites are now using these difficult or "un-blockable" popups.
Timed popup test - This test launches a new popup window every 5 seconds. Because this popup is automatically launched at specific intervals, your popup blocker may not block some of them. Let the window remain open for 20 to 30 seconds before you close it. Your popup blocker should close every one of the popups that load.
Mouse-Over popup test - This test opens a popup every time you move your mouse over a link. Your popup blocker should know that you did not request this popup and should be smart enough to detect the popup.
Floating popup test - This test opens a floating and non-blockable popup window, which is not a real browser window, but an HTML object that can contain images, text, links, etc. This is what unethical popup testing sites use to make you believe your popup stopper software is not working!
Special note: Some popup testing sites are actually owned by popup stopper developers who use these non-blockable popups to fail your popup stopper. The idea is to recommend a popup stopper that 'works' without letting you know it's really their product! If you suspect this trickery, run your popup blocker through this test to verify if their popup blocking software is really all it claims to be.
