jquery-popunder

jquery-popunder is a jquery-plugin to create popunders in major browsers.

Usage

Popunders are popups which are opened in the background of a browser-window. This script will only work, if the popunder is opened on a user-generated event (e.g. click or submit).

For examples and usage documentation, take a look at the index.html.

The recommended usage is the first example: a function to build the url-stack. So you leave the event-handling to the plugin. To add some flexibility to the function, the plugin will pass the initial event to the function - from which you may access e.g. DOM-data of the activated DOM-element.

Options

All of the options are optional!

{
    "cookie": "__puc",     The cookie-name (optional, used for blocking a popunder)
    "name": "__pu",        The window-name (optional)
    "blocktime": false,    The time to block popunder, in minutes
    "window": {
        "height": ..       The width of the popunder
        "width": ..        The height of the popunder

    },
    "skip": {              UA-Patterns to skip
        "opera": true
    },

}

Known Issues

• chrome 41,42 needs a flash-layer to create a popunder -- chrome 43 is not supported yet
• attention: the window-properties are currently not working in google chrome 28+

Installation

Just copy the dist/jquery.popunder.min.js file into your project or use bower:

bower install jquery-popunder

or add it to your compontent.json.

Dependencies

• (optional) jquery - http://www.jquery.com
• (optional) jquery.cookie - https://github.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie

The dependencies can be installed using bower

When you're not using jquery, you could use the dist/popunder.min.js, which includes a stripped version of jquery. Mind, that there is no real selector-engine included, which limits element-selection in oldie to #ids.
