How do I prevent my browser from blocking pop-ups only on specific sites?
If you do not want to completely disable the pop-up blocker for all sites, please perform the following to add an exception:
Note: adding the asterisk & period (
*. ) in front of the domain name is a wildcard that tells your browser not to block any pop-up from any site within that domain. Example: adding
*.phoenix.edu will include
portal.phoenix.edu, ecampus.phoenix.edu, classroom.phoenix.edu,
vle.phoenix.edu, etc.
