(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Andrew Sullivan]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    20020311104

Even when I tell mozilla to block popups, the popups on the New York Times web
site still come up.  Two examples are Cheap Tickets and Trip.com.  Sometimes it
happens with yahoo as well.

NYT popup javascript:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide
      function FrameThis ()  {
        if (top.frames.length != 0)  {
            top.location = document.URL
        }
      }

      function nameIt() {
        window.name = 'nytimesmain';
	    if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
		  document.all.globalsearchform.style.visibility = "visible";
        }
      }
    // -->
</script>
<script language="javascript">
function pop_me_up(pURL, features){ 
		new_window = window.open(pURL, "popup_window", features);
		new_window.focus();
	} 
</script>
<script>
function changeImage(image_name,image_src) {
   		document.images[image_name].src = image_src;
	}
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
  eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'"); if
  (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0; } //
</script> 

popup is called by:
<a
href="javascript:pop_me_up('http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/wqxr/20020318WQXR-STREAM-RM.html','width=600,height=400,scrollbars=yes,toolbars=no');"><img
src="http://graphics4.nytimes.com/images/promos/books/170sky.gif" border="0"></a>




Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to NYTimes.com repeatedly, and popups will occasionally appear.

Actual Results:  ad pops up:
http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/wqxr/20020318WQXR-STREAM-RM.html


Expected Results:  killed the popup

Additional comment: I have seen this happen on Mac OS 9 and Windows 98.  Don't
have any other platforms to test.

Yeah, they've gotten clever about it...   We have a new pref to handle that, but
it's not hooked up to the UI yet.
