I have searched many issue in stack overflow and might be duplicate here Detect Popup

But not helped for me while testing in Chrome (tested v26.0.1410.64)

Following Approach Worked in IE and Firefox but not in Chrome

var popup = window.open(winPath,winName,winFeature,true);

 if (!popup || popup.closed || typeof popup.closed=='undefined'){

       //Worked For IE and Firefox

        alert(Popup Blocker is enabled! Please add this site to your exception list.);

        window.location.href = 'warning.html';

 } else {

        //Popup Allowed

        window.open('','_self');

        window.close();

}

Any better solution that works for Chrome also?

Finally, it success by combining different answer from Stackoverflow's member

This code worked for me & tested in IE, Chrome & Firefox

var popup = window.open(winPath,winName,winFeature,true);

 setTimeout( function() {

    if(!popup || popup.outerHeight === 0) {

        //First Checking Condition Works For IE & Firefox

        //Second Checking Condition Works For Chrome

        alert(Popup Blocker is enabled! Please add this site to your exception list.);

         window.location.href = 'warning.html';

    } else {

        //Popup Blocker Is Disabled

        window.open('','_self');

        window.close();

    } 

}, 25);
