User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 I ran into a popup that works in both Mozilla and Phoenix 0.5. It works by forcing a form submission to a named target that isn't the current window, causing a new window to be created: <script language=JavaScript> <!--// function loadpopup() { document.flauncher.submit(); focus(); setTimeout('focus()',2000); } // --> </script> <form name='flauncher' action='http://www.popupad.net/ats/switch.php' target='adv' method='post' onSubmit='focus();'> <input type='hidden' name='id' value='6362'> </form> Not sure what, if anything, can be done to "fix" this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
