Just a note: imagine the feeling of the user who set up the anti-popup plug-in and still see popup in that banking site, and later in your site. One of the reasons I use the services of my bank is that they never allow such dirty tricks in their site. Seriously. Don't do it! Not using popup is quite feasible an much better.

Browsers allow only user initiated popup in default setting. And that's for a reason. There are few situations where it may be necessary. The MSDN link I gave in my answer discusses this very well. Please read it.

You need to understand how popup blockers work and which types of popup they block.
From MSDN,
The Pop-up Blocker blocks script-initiated pop-up windows that are created by the following methods, without the user clicking a link.
The Pop-up Blocker does not block pop-up windows that open as a direct result of a user action. A user-initiated action includes clicking a page element or tabbing to a link and then pressing ENTER.

So if a popup is created by some user action, browsers won't block it under default settings. So use this technique.

BTW, read this MSDN link for better understanding of the concept - About the Pop-up Blocker[^]

Hope this helps! :thumbsup:

Why not view source on the banking site to see how they do it ? Are you sure you've not enabled them to do it, in your browser settings ?
