Pop-Up Blocking Software
Special instructions for Windows XP Service Pack-2
Before you log in to WebTycho, please turn these programs off temporarily, and then turn them on again after logging out. Browser pop-up blocking settings and separate advertizing blocker software interfere with WebTycho's course evaluations, proctored exam registration, and course content modules.
Enabling and Disabling Pop-up Blocker
You can change pop-up blocker settings with several different methods.
- Prompted at First Occurrence
A prompt appears before the first pop-up window appears that asks the customer to enable Pop-up Blocker. Choose Yes.
- Internet Explorer
On the Tools menu, click Pop-up Blocker, and then click Turn Off Pop-Up Blocker.
- Mozilla Firefox
- On the Tools menu, select Options. Make sure the checkbox beside Block pop-up windows is empty.
- Click OK.
What happens when a Pop-Up Window is Blocked
If a site opens a pop-up window that is blocked by Internet Explorer, a notification appears in the status bar and a sound is played. If you click the notification in the status bar, you see a menu with the following options:
- Show Blocked Pop-up Window. Reloads the popup window.
- Allow Pop-up Windows from This Site. Adds the current site to the Allow list.
- Block Pop-up Windows. Toggles Pop-up Blocker on and off.
- Pop-up Window Options. Opens the Pop-up Window Management window.
Advanced Options
Internet Explorer provides advanced configuration of Pop-up Blocker settings.
- Web Site Allow List
You can add sites to the Allow list. Any site on the Allow list can open pop-up windows.
- Block All Pop-up Windows
Pop-up Blocker allows sites to open a pop-up window when the user clicks a link. This setting changes that behavior by blocking windows that are opened from a link. If this setting is enabled, you can allow pop-up windows to open by pressing ALT at the same time that you click the link.
- Override Key
When Block All Pop-up Windows is enabled, you can allow pop-up windows to open by pressing ALT at the same time that you click the link.
- Configure Sound
You can toggle whether or not Pop-up Blocker plays a sound when a pop-up is blocked through the Advanced settings in Internet Options. You can also change the sound that plays. To do this, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click the Sounds and Audio Devices icon.
- Zones
Customers can expand the scope of Pop-up Blocker to include the Local Intranet or Trusted Sites zones in the Security tab of Internet Options.
You will still see pop-up windows opened while Pop-up Blocker is enabled in the following cases:
- The pop-up is opened by a link which the user clicked.
- The pop-up is opened by software that is running on the computer.
- The pop-up is opened by ActiveX controls that are instantiated from a Web site.
- The pop-up is opened from the Trusted Sites or Local Intranet zones.
