javascript - How can I indicate that a popup has been blocked by Safari?

Question

In Safari for iPad, if the popups are disabled, is there any way to get the bar at the top..like in IE which says "...website trying to open popup.."

I mean the user can at least come to know there is some popup being opened..

Otherwise if the popup setting is blocked, nothing happens when the user clicks on a link which has that popup.

The only way that I know of to get a new window to open up in Mobile Safari is to use the target="_blank" (and I guess target="_new") attribute.

<a href="my_popup_page.html" target="_blank">Open 'popup'</a>
