pop up window issue in mobile safari

i am working on web application which needs to open new browser window for some purpose.i am using JavaScript window.open() method for this.once child window is created using this method i am using window.focus() method to navigate between parent and child window.this works fine on all desktop and android browser.

code:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="openWin('url')">

to open window:

function openWin(url){
    myWindow = window.open(url,"myWindow");   
    myWindow.opener = window;
    myWindow.focus();
}

to switch back to parent from child

window.opener.focus();

switch to child again

myWindow.focus();

now the problem is when i use it on mobile safari (ipod touch) it shows alert message "This site is attempting to open a pop up window" with options "Allow" and "block". when i click on allow,it opens new window but navigation using window.focus is not working.i think its because safari browser takes it as a pop up window and not full browser window and so it can not return browser object while creation(myWindow).

in this same application i am using same code on click on button and it works on ipod very well w开发者_如何学Pythonith no such alert message, but its not working with anchor tag.

can anyone point me what i should do to make it work,thanks in advance. Anil.

You could try to handle this popup as an Alert. You may try to use following code snippet -

// SWITCH TO ALERT    
Alert alert_obj = webDriver.switchTo().alert();
// ACCPET IT
alertObj.accept();
