How to get Google plus share in popup like Twitter?

google-plus, google-plus-one

Solution

The JavaScript `window.open` method will open a new window. You can combine this technique with the share link to accomplish your goal. Here's an example of this technique lifted from the official docs. Just substitute your target url for `http://example.com`.

<a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://example.com"
  onclick="javascript:window.open('http://example.com','',
  'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=600,width=600');
  return false;">
  <img src="https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-64.png" 
    alt="Share on Google+"/>
</a>

Problem

The Google+ icon automatically shares the page on HOVER, and doesn't require a click like the others. Is there anything that can be done about this, to require a click like the others [fb,twitter] and to load in a popup as happens with the Twitter share icons?
