Chrome Version : 0.3.154.9
Other browsers tested:
Safari 3: OK
Firefox 3: OK
IE 7: OK
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Link on web page must invoke Javascript to open a popup window
containing HTML form and Javascript code for form validation. There is no
problem in Google Chrome if the link is opened in a new window or tab using
target="blank".
2. Form validation Javascript code in the popup window invokes
alert(message) upon encountering an error within the form and sets focus to
the appropriate form element.
What is the expected result?
Google Chrome should display the alert box.
What happens instead?
Google Chrome will execute all Javascript code EXCEPT for opening the alert
box.

same problem here.
Link opening content in pop-up window
<A HREF="javascript:NewWindow
('http://www.helloworld.dk/test.asp','name','500','525','no','yes')">
Using this javascript:
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
var win = null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll,status){
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings
= 'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+sc
roll+',toolbar=0,location=0,menubar=0,status='+status+',dependent=0,titlebar=0,resiza
ble=0,locationbar=0'
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
win.focus();
}
</script>
Confirm and alert javascript now suddenly doesn't work in the popup-vindue when user
e.g. tries to submit a form that uses a confirm function:
<FORM ACTION=buy_wait.asp METHOD=POST id=form name=form onSubmit="return confirm
('are you sure you want to delete?');">
We hope that you can solve this one out quickly. We have a lot of customers now not
being able to use our webservice while this issue persists.

Having the same issue with our product and confirm/alert dialogs not showing in popup
windows.
popup links:
<a onclick="window.open('popup.html', 'test', 'height=470,width=550'); return false;"
target="_blank" href="popup.html">anchor popup</a>
<div onclick="window.open('popup.html', 'test', 'height=470,width=550');">div popup</div>
<input type="button" onclick="window.open('popup.html', 'test',
'height=470,width=550');" value="button popup">
popup.html window code to try an alert() and a confirm():
<body>
<input type="button" value="alert" onClick="alert('alert test');">
<input type="button" value="confirm" onClick="confirm('confirm test');">
</body>
Have tried a slew of window.open features - basically the only way an alert or
confirm will work is if chrome renders the "popup" in a new tab by default which
happens when you include 'menubar=1,status=1,titlebar=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1'
chrome will automatically open the "popup" in a tab in the default configuration.

Hi. I have exactly the same problem. THIS IS A SERIOUS BUG AFFECTING MANY WEB-APPS, PLEASE GIVE THIS TOP PRIORITY! Have attached two files to illustrate the problem... see zipped attachment. Just open the file: "start-chrome-popup.htm" first.

The problem is caused by javascript method "window.open(URL, windowName[, windowFeatures])". If the 3rd parameter windowFeatures is specified, then alert box doesn't work in the popup constrained window in Chrome, here is a simplified reduction: http://go/reductions/4158/test-home-constrained.html If the 3rd parameter windowFeatures is ignored, then alert box works in the popup in Chrome(the popup is actually opened as a new tab in Chrome), like this: http://go/reductions/4158/test-home-newtab.html it doesn't happen in IE7, Firefox3 or Safari3, it's a chrome specific issue. See also attachments for simplified reductions

This looks like a recent regression.

This broke (intentionally) in r2116. I'm going to revert 2116 from trunk and the release branch. We'll have to revisit the original bug with a different approach: this one does not work.

This should be fixed (with unit tests based on the reductions to prevent this form happening again) in r5198. mal directly committed the one line fix in web_contents.cc onto the release branch earlier.
Status: Fixed

When will this fix be released? Thanks
,
Nov 15, 2008
This will be fixed in 154.22, which should go to the Dev channel next week. The fix should make it to the Beta channel before the end of November.

I cannot get java to work on Pogo. What steps do we need to do to fix this? How do we access V-154.22 and is this problem fixed?
,
Nov 18, 2008
Chrome will only work with Java 6 Update 10. You can download that from: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/ The 0.4.154.22 release is a dev channel only release. If you're currently not subscribed to the dev channel, you might want to consider taking a look. Information about subscribing to the dev channel is here: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

Good job guys.... Tested the 0.4.154.22 (dev channel) and it worked as it should. Look forward to see this in a public release though.....

Hi,
I encounter the same problem with the confirm() dialog in Chrome 15.0.874.92 beta-m.
onclick="if (!confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this task?')) { return false; };"
I choose Cancel button and the form is submitted... Certainly I have tested this code in other browsers and worked fine in IE9, FF7, Opera11, etc.
Please fix it because I love Chrome and do not want to change it from default browser status.
Thank you and keep your otherwise excellent work.
