I can't POP UP dialog in my borwsers
I configured IE, FF and Chrome on my Windows 7 PC to allow pop up. I have a html web page that has a jQuery that would pop up a dialog if a link is clicked on this page but I can't get it to work on my PC with any of the 3 browsers. Can someone advise where else or what else I should try?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Only on my PC. I open this html file that resides on my C drive. the page comes up but it doesn't show the pop up when I click on the link.
the same html file when I put it onto a web server in a folder under the default site, the pop up dialog would show up on my PC's browser.
Looking at this, it may not be the problem with my browsers but what is it?

did you make this page yourself ?
if yes then check that your Popup dialog box path is correct in page ?
check you coding.

check you coding.
check your intranet settings.. when on a web server you are using the internet settings, when run not on a server it is an intranet file.

A jQuery Dialog is NOT a pop-up so it doesn't get stopped by pop-up blockers. If it's not working, then there's another problem. Post a link to your page and we can take a look

Chris, thank you. That explains it perfectly! Yes, the query is being pulled from google so it won't work until uploaded to server. I will download a local copy to my pc for future.
Cool.
Doing web development using 'local files' will severely limit your progress. Web browsers can open local HTML files, but that's about it. Any functionality above and beyond basic HTML stuff simply won't work.
If you intend to do more web development, your best bet would be to install some web server software on your PC, and then your PC will work like a proper web server. If you're using Windows, the easiest way to do it is to download and install WAMP Server. This will give you a webserver (apache), php and mysql (database) so you can develop web sites locally as if you're working on a fully functioning web server :)

if others too, then use CCleaner to remove lingering entries in your registry.
