164735 - Allow Scripts to Open Unrequested Windows : page defeats

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 159036

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[chance]

Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Scripts and Plugins
'Allow Scripts to Open Unrequested Windows' is unchecked (and usually works)
'Move or resize...' and 'Raise or lower...' is also unchecked

however the supplied link has a crafty banner ad at the top of the page. the
banner says "mouse over banner to download Search Explorer"

moving the mouse over the banner (no clicking) causes another browser window to
popup, so whatever script there using is not being blocked properly??

here is some of the source:
<script language="JavaScript">
function wopen() {       
window.open("http://www.search-explorer.net/filter/gate.php?id=top_frame","SEtoolbar");
        return true;
}
</SCRIPT>

<!-- BEGIN Popup Blocker -->
<script language='javascript'>
NS_ActualOpen=window.open;
function NS_NullWindow(){this.window;}
function NS_NewOpen(url,nam,atr){return(new NS_NullWindow());}
window.open=NS_NewOpen;
</script>
<!-- END Popup Blocker -->
