128974 - auto-popup via image.onload bypasses unrequested popup pref

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 126224

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Casciano]

I visited the above URL and got a popup window when visiting the page even
though I have the "Open Unrequested Windows" pref unchecked. A quick scan of the
page code revealed that the opening of the window was triggered via an image
onload event instead of the customary body.onload. Here's the relevent code from
the doc:

SCRIPT:
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
  window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}

HTML CONTENT:
<img src="dxp_comp_02.gif" width="795" height="737" usemap="#Map" border="0"
onLoad="MM_openBrWindow('pop.html','ATTENTION','width=275,height=160')">

This behavior was seen with the following browser:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020223
