Popup Help

IQWeb uses pop-up windows for to display some types of information. These Pop-up windows should work with the default settings in place for the most common pop-up blockers. However, should you find that a pop-up window in IQWeb or on the Hood main web site is being blocked, below are some instructions on:

How to Allow Popups from IQWeb (Procyon.hood.edu/IQWeb) or the Hood main web site (www.Hood.edu)

Configuring the Popup Blocker in XP Service Pack 2

When you install SP2, Pop-up Blocker is turned on in Internet Explorer and set to the medium setting, which means it will block most automatic pop-ups. The default settings for the pop-up blocker allow you to see pop-ups that are opened when you click a link or button on a Web site. Pop-up Blocker will also play a sound and show the Information Bar when a pop-up is blocked. You can adjust these settings so that Pop-up Blocker works the way you want it to. To change Pop-up Blocker settings 1. Open Internet Explorer. 2. On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up Blocker Settings.

Internet Explorer Tools menu

If you want to see pop-up windows from a specific Web site, type the address (or URL) of the site in the Address of Web site to allow box, and then click Add.

Pop-up Blocker Settings window

Tip To temporarily allow a site to display pop-ups, click the Information Bar when it notifies you that a pop-up has been blocked. Then click Temporarily Allow Pop-ups.

Configuring the Popup Blocker on the Google Toolbar

The Google Popup Blocker can be told to remember sites so pop-up windows are allowed to launch from that site. This information is stored on your computer in what's known as a "whitelist" (as opposed to a "blacklist"). The Popup Blocker uses the whitelist to turn itself off when you visit sites whose popups you would like to see.

To add a site to your whitelist, visit the site and press the Popup Blocker button. The button text will change to read "Allow site popups," indicating that the Popup Blocker is disabled on the site in question.

If you would like to remove a site from your whitelist, visit that site and click the Popup Blocker button. The button text will change to display the number of ads you've blocked. The changed text indicates that the site has been removed from your whitelist, and the Popup Blocker will resume activity on that site.

Please note that it is not possible to view or manually edit the whitelist. You can only add and remove sites from this list by toggling the Popup Blocker button on and off.

If the Popup Blocker is preventing a new window from opening, you can always let a new window open from a "blocked" site by holding down the Ctrl key while you click on a link.

Configuring the Popup Blocker on the Yahoo Toolbar

If Pop-Up Blocker on the Yahoo toolbar is blocking something you want to see, there are three ways to override it:

1) Turn off Pop-Up Blocker by clicking the Pop-Up Blocker menu and unchecking Enable Pop-Up Blocker.

2) Press and hold the CTRL key while clicking a link to override Pop-Up Blocker and allow any pop-up windows resulting from the click.

3) Add the source of the pop-up window to your Allowed List by clicking the Pop-Up Blocker menu (see picture below) and selecting Always Allow Pop-Ups From.... Then select the site from the Sources of Recently Blocked Pop-Ups list and click Allow.

Where can I see and manage my Allow List? To see all sources for which you have chosen to allow pop-up windows, click the Pop-Up Blocker menu and select Always Allow Pop-Ups From....
