Nortan Popup Blocker + JavaScript Issue

I have a rather strange issue. When I have nortan popup blocker disabled, there are no problems. However, I expect my target audience to have security system such as nortan security. So let me tell you what happens when the popup blocked is enabled, and I hope there is a solution.

First, nortan pop-up blocker inserts the following code above my line of code calling a javascript file. I read on the internet that this is normal for the popup blocker to insert code above the first script tag.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
  return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
  return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

//-->
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="../javascript/createProject.js"></script>

Code (markup):

The strange part is that I have code below the javascript file call. Something like this...

<script type="text/javascript">
<cfoutput>#ToScript(catIDList, "catIDList")#</cfoutput>
<cfoutput>#ToScript(subcatIDList, "subcatIDList")#</cfoutput>
etc...
</script>

Code (markup):

All this code does is convert a coldfusion array into a javascript array. When nortan pop-up blocker is enabled, it actually deletes this code!

Furthermore, I know how to turn javascript on and off. I have tried this in both IE7 and Firefox. I have a noscript tag that displays further down the page when the popup blocker is enabled, even when javascript is enabled. If I swap the scripts, making the toScript calls above the createProject.js file, the noscript acts normal.

Lastly, nortan popup blocker inserts the following code at the bottom of the page:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var SymRealOnLoad;
var SymRealOnUnload;

function SymOnUnload()
{
  window.open = SymWinOpen;
  if(SymRealOnUnload != null)
     SymRealOnUnload();
}

function SymOnLoad()
{
  if(SymRealOnLoad != null)
     SymRealOnLoad();
  window.open = SymRealWinOpen;
  SymRealOnUnload = window.onunload;
  window.onunload = SymOnUnload;
}

SymRealOnLoad = window.onload;
window.onload = SymOnLoad;

//-->
</script>

Code (markup):

I have read that is normal though.

If anybody has any information to help solve this, it will be GREATLY APPRECIATED as I have been pulling my hair out for hours

Thanks in advance!!!

Sincerely,
Travis Walters

 

I placed <script> tags around each toScript call so it would output something like this

<script type="text/javascript">catIDList =  new Array();
catIDList[0] = 2;
catIDList[1] = 5;
catIDList[2] = 2;
catIDList[3] = 1;
catIDList[4] = 5;
catIDList[5] = 5;
catIDList[6] = 2;
catIDList[7] = 2;
catIDList[8] = 5;
catIDList[9] = 5;
catIDList[10] = 2;
catIDList[11] = 1;
catIDList[12] = 5;
catIDList[13] = 1;
catIDList[14] = 1;
catIDList[15] = 1;
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">subcatIDList =  new Array();
subcatIDList[0] = 76;
subcatIDList[1] = 100;
subcatIDList[2] = 77;
subcatIDList[3] = 66;
subcatIDList[4] = 99;
subcatIDList[5] = 97;
subcatIDList[6] = 104;
subcatIDList[7] = 105;
subcatIDList[8] = 96;
subcatIDList[9] = 103;
subcatIDList[10] = 78;
subcatIDList[11] = 68;
subcatIDList[12] = 95;
subcatIDList[13] = 94;
subcatIDList[14] = 65;
subcatIDList[15] = 70;
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">subcatNameList =  new Array();
subcatNameList[0] = "Application Development";
subcatNameList[1] = "Copywriting";
subcatNameList[2] = "Database Programming";
subcatNameList[3] = "Ecommerce Websites";
subcatNameList[4] = "Editing Documents";
subcatNameList[5] = "Essay Writing";
subcatNameList[6] = "Game Programming";
subcatNameList[7] = "Handhelds &amp; PDAs";
subcatNameList[8] = "Legal Documents";
subcatNameList[9] = "Other Writing";
subcatNameList[10] = "Programming Languages";
subcatNameList[11] = "SEO &amp; SEM";
subcatNameList[12] = "Translation";
subcatNameList[13] = "Web Design";
subcatNameList[14] = "Web Development";
subcatNameList[15] = "Web Programming";
</script>

Code (markup):

The only difference is before all the arrays were grouped into one <script> </script> tag.

Why does this work?
