The benefit of the popup object is that it can appear on top of other frames and outside the browser window. This makes it easier to create contextmenues etc. You can also make the popup appear x px relative to a HTML node, see: http://207.46.199.254/en-us/library/ms536755(VS.85).aspx Examples can be seen here: http://207.46.199.254/en-us/library/ms533025(VS.85).aspx 66203 1 mrowe 2008-01-04 09:13:17 -0800 My googling indicates that Firefox doesn't support this either. 133755 2 progame+wk 2009-07-22 06:25:16 -0700 correct links: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533025(VS.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536755(VS.85).aspx http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=try_dom_window_popup 133771 3 bksening 2009-07-22 08:13:40 -0700 This is also tracked as Chromium bug: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17394 1887948 4 ahmad.saleem792 2022-07-31 05:34:45 -0700 window.createPopup() was Internet Explorer only and it was later removed from IE11 as well. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/dev-guides/bg182625(v=vs.85) I think we are not planning to add old APIs etc., so I think we can mark this as "RESOLVED WONTFIX" (similar to Chrome bug in Comment 03) 1887960 5 rniwa 2022-07-31 11:11:01 -0700 This is most certainly won't fix at this point.
