Hey

But Edge 25.10586.0.0 on Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation, Version 1511, Build 10586.164, at least does have the problem that you cannot call the transferred “alert” method: you get “Invalid calling object” when you try. Internet Explorer 11.162.10586.0 behaves differently there: Depending on whether you close the popup before calling its alert() or afterwards, you get either “Invalid calling object” or “Function expected” or nothing. I might look into this further when I am back in the office: debugging Edge/IE 11 on Windows 10 in VirtualBox on OS X via TeamViewer is a PITA. For now, something along the lines of var iframe, w, d, b; var _alert = (typeof document.createElement != "undefined") && (iframe = document.createElement("iframe")) && (iframe.style.display = "none") && (b = document.body) && (typeof b.appendChild != "undefined") && (b.appendChild(iframe) || true) && ((w = iframe.contentWindow) && w.alert || (d = iframe.contentDocument) && (w = d.defaultView) && w.alert)) || (function () { var w = window.open("", "w" + new Date().getTime(), "width=1,height=1"); if (!w) return null; var local_alert = w.alert; w.close(); return local_alert; }()); if (_alert) { window.alert = _alert; window.alert(42); b && b.removeChild(iframe); } is probably the safest bet. -- PointedEars FAQ: | SVN: Twitter: @PointedEars2 | ES Matrix: Please do not cc me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.
