I have a game made in vb.net. I am encountering an issue when using window.open in a javascript section.
Below you can see my .aspx page.
In the script tag near the bottom, you will see this line:
window.open('../game/map/?worldID=' + worldID, 'mapdisplay', 'titlebar=yes,width=500,height=900');
So this line is working. When it is reached, it opens the game world.
But the line before it, which is a console.log is never fired.
Additionally, I have some javascript alerts and console.logs in the code behind file, which you can find below.
But those are also never fired.
HOWEVER, this is all very strange to me. If I comment out the window.open line, all the console.logs and alerts do fire! But of course the new window doesn't open.
Could there be a reason as to why window.open is blocking my javascript console.logs and alerts?

// none of my alerts or console.logs fire unless I comment out the window.open
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(worldLockedBy) Or worldLockedBy.ToUpper = utils.myUserID Then
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me.Page, Me.Page.GetType, "z", "alert('You can now enter this world!');", True)
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me.Page, Me.Page.GetType, "z", "console.log('You can now enter this world!');", True)
Else
worldLockedBy = gme_IsWorldLocked(worldID.ToString, True)
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me.Page, Me.Page.GetType, "z", "alert('This world is full');", True)
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me.Page, Me.Page.GetType, "z", "console.log('This world is full');", True)
