Hi,
I used window.open method to open a new window with Edge chromium IE mode. When I downloaded a file from the child window, its parent window always hopped to the front and blocked the child window. It is OK to run the same thing on IE directly. Is it a code issue or a browser setting problem?
Thanks,

I can't reproduce the issue. Download works well in Edge IE mode using
window.open(). My sample code in parent window and child window is like below:
How do you configure the Edge IE mode sites? Do your parent window and child window are both opened in IE mode? Could you please provide a minimal code snippet which can reproduce the issue?

Michael Jin 0 Reputation points2023-02-15T20:27:28.75+00:00 I have similar problem with this window.open() under the IE mode in Edge, for example,
var msgWindow=open(url,'TransactionDetail','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=600,height=600');
...
This code used to work fine under IE 11, and still works in Edge w/o IE mode (or Chrome w/o IE tab).
Apparently, it triggered some errors right away in this call, like below.
I verified that the IE version is 11, not sure why getting this kind of error.
My previous Edge was Version 110.0.1587.41 (Official build) (64-bit),
After updating Edge to 1587.46 a few minutes ago, unable to use the IE mode to visit my site anymore. But that is a separate issue.
Regards,
Michael
