BuildID: 2002020406
In my Preferences, I have "Open unrequested windows" turned off under the
Scripts & Windows panel in the Advanced category. This manages to kill all of
the pop-ups and pop-unders that proliferate on the Internet, except for the
Orbitz pop-under at nytimes.com. I assume that they've come up with a technique
to fool Mozilla, and that they'll be using it for all of their pop-unders soon
enough.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
You can go to nytimes and surf around until the Orbitz ad pops up, then check
out the source for the page. I have captured the JavaScript code that creates
the pop-under, it's an included .js file on pages that open the new window. You
can see it at:
http://rc3.org/clips/orbiz_popunder_js.txt
I've also included the full source from the file in "Additional Information" below.
Actual Results: A pop-under ad for Orbitz appears.
Expected Results: The pop-under ad is suppressed.
Source code for the pop-under generating script:
document.write('<!-- Template Id = 282 Template Name = pop-under - gif close
after click -->\n');
// click-tracking macro added later, not here.
var clickurl="http://www.orbitz.com";
var popunder_image = "http://m.doubleclick.net/703651/ORB_720X300_MLF.gif";
var popunder_width = 720;
var popunder_height = 300;
// properties for the window.open()
// can't comment out first line, but others can be commented to
// remove the property from the list.
var props = "width=" + popunder_width;
props += ",height=" + popunder_height;
props += ",scrollbars=no";
props += ",toolbar=no";
props += ",resizeable=no";
props += ",directories=no";
function popunder(){
var pop = window.open("","pop",props);
pop.blur();
pop.document.open();
pop.document.write('<html><head><title>Orbitz</title>');
pop.document.write('<scr'+'ipt language="javascript">');
pop.document.write('var
clickthru="http://ad.doubleclick.net/click%3B3938839%3B0-0%3B0%3B6945409%3B31-1|1%3B525147|524455|1%3B%3B%3f'
+ clickurl + '";');
pop.document.write('</scr'+'ipt></head><body>');
pop.document.write('<div style="position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px;">');
pop.document.write('<a href="#" onClick="window.open(clickthru);self.close();">');
pop.document.write('<img src="' + popunder_image + '" border="0" width="' +
popunder_width + '" height="' + popunder_height + '"></a></div>');
pop.document.write('</body></html>');
pop.document.close();
}
document.write('\n\n<img src=\"http://m.doubleclick.net/viewad/817-gray.gif\"
border=0 width=1 height=1 onload=\"popunder();return false;\">');
