144481 - window.open popups still occur when written into IMG tag

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 126224

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Tom]

When the "Open Unrequested Windows" pref is set to disabled, web sites can still
pop up ad windows using the window.open javascript function if they embed it
within an image (<IMG>) tag. The New York Times web site will exhibit this
behavior occaisionally but not always. Here's the code to reproduce it:

<img src="http://somesite.com/pixel.gif"
onLoad="window.open('http://somesite.com/ayb2.html','MyWindow','toolbar=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=300,height=200,
top=0');window.focus();" BORDER=0">
