spmug 602 Gatekeeping for Pop-Ups Q. Is there a way to temporarily
override the function that blocks pop-up windows in my Web browser to
browse sites that legitimately use pop-ups? A. Most Web browsers -
including Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari - now include a function
that blocks the pesky pop-up and pop-under windows favored by
advertisers. This feature can cause problems, however, with sites like
banks that sometimes use the extra windows for certain functions. Check
your browser's settings or preferences area for the pop-up blocker
function. On many versions of Internet Explorer or Firefox, you can
choose to allow pop-ups only from certain sites - and have the browser
block the rest. In the Safari browser for Mac OS X, you can quickly turn
pop-up blocking off or on with a keyboard shortcut (Command-K) when you
get to a site that uses pop-ups you want to see.
