If you are using a "pop-up blocker" program, you will need to configure it to allow pop-up windows within the web site. This is required in order for the some database applications to work correctly.

What are "Pop-up blockers?"
"Pop-up blockers" are small programs that many users and software vendors have chosen to install in web browsers to prevent "pop-up windows" from opening unexpectedly while browsing the World Wide Web. These programs can be very effective in reducing the amount of unwanted advertisement-related pop-ups. However, they also prevent some critical parts of legitimate web pages from working correctly.

Why allow pop-ups on some web sites?
Sometimes a web site contains pages that need to open separate windows to display crucial content. Many pop-up blockers treat these windows as if they were unwanted advertisements. Because of cases like this, most pop-up blockers provide the ability to grant special permission to specific sites to allow pop-up windows on those sites.


Allow Pop-ups from Illinoisworknet.com

To temporarily or Always 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 or Always Allow Pop-ups from This Site.


Internet Explorer Pop up Controls Tools

  1. On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up Blocker Settings.



2. Type the address www.illinoisworknet.com in the Address of Web site to allow box, and then click Add. You will see the address added to the Allowed sites box. Now click Close.


Now you should be able to use popups at the site.
