Details

This page pops up an ad, despite having "Open unrequested windows" turned off. It would appear that this particular javascript trickyness does get caught: <img height=1 src="http://static.appliedsemantics.com/images/domainpark/x.gif" width=1 onload="popunder();"> Evil, evil. Dan.
That page uses an img onload handler, which is known to get around the popup blocking (see bug 126224.) I didn't see a popup, however, because the img onload function tries to open a window via a setTimeout, which *is* blocked by "open unrequested windows". Maybe they changed it recently, or maybe they serve up different content based on unknown (to me) or random factors. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 126224 ***
