Opening a jhs app in a pop-up browser page

[Don Guinn]

I attempted to open a J app from jhs in a pop-up browser. Apparently J treats pop-ups as untrusted. Is there any way to get J to accept the pop-up?

I was experimenting with this as an alternative to the more rigid structure of the jhs browser interface.

It is not JJS that doesn't allow the pop-up. It is the browser.

Most browsers allow you to indicate that pop-ups are allowed from certain ips (e.g., localhost).

When you see the browser complain about the pop-up there is probably a message that you can click to allow them.

Get to that state and then look for the option to allow.

This is slightly different in each browser. What browser are you using?

I am using Chrome. I looked at the jhshelp 'popup', but what I'm trying to do is slightly different. I am trying to use the window.open popupWindow option. Jhs looks beautiful using the full screen option of the browsers with all the tabs and options at the top of the screen removed. But that only gives a full screen window. I am trying to get the same look without all the clutter, but in a resizable window. When it tries to run the app Chrome asks if I want to leave the site. The app loads if I say yes, but I get the message "{ "jhrcmds":["alert *\nJ event handler ev_body_focus ran but did not provide ajax response"] }".

Don,

I assume that normal JHS popup works. For example, esc-n creating an edit window.

I am not sure what you can do with your goal of getting a window with fewer decorations.

Try:

   'jijx;10 10' jpage ''

That will get you a simpler window. But it still has extra stuff and doesn't work properly with term.

You are pushing beyond the current JHS abilities. Good luck. You will find that browser differences become very frustrating as you do this and that makes it hard to include features like this in the general product.

I am happy to continue this conversation with you directly (out of the forum).
