User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/2002 - Netscape 6.2, Mac OS X
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/2002 - Netscape 6.2, Mac OS X

On CNN.com when voting on the poll question a smaller window opens (this window
should have the poll results) but is blank. At the same time another full size
window opens with the poll results. This has been occurring in at least the last
few nightlies, but is ok in .8 releases. Currently using 1-20 nightly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to cnn.com and vote in the poll question of the day
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Two popup windows are created. One smaller one which is blank and one full size
which contains the poll results.

Expected Results:  
Only the smaller window should have appeared with the poll results.

The behavior sounds the same as bug 278916; someone who can wrap his/her head
around the source will need to confirm :-)

Here's the source-snippet from CNN:

<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" border="0"><form
target="popuppoll" method="post" action="http://polls.cnn.com/poll">

<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="poll_id" VALUE="15557">
<tr><td colspan="2" align="left"><span class="cnnBodyText">Did you find
President Bush’s inaugural address inspiring?<br></span></td></tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td><span class="cnnBodyText">Yes</span>
</td><td align="right"><input value="1" type="radio" name="question_1"></td></tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td><span class="cnnBodyText">No</span>
</td><td align="right"><input value="2" type="radio" name="question_1"></td></tr>
<!-- /end Question 1 -->
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td><span
class="cnnInterfaceLink"><nobr><a
href="javascript:CNN_openPopup('/POLLSERVER/results/15557.exclude.html','popuppoll','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=620,height=430')">VIEW
RESULTS</a></nobr></span></td>
<td align="right"><input class="cnnFormButton"
onclick="CNN_openPopup('','popuppoll','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=620,height=430')"
value="VOTE" type="SUBMIT"></td></tr></table></td></tr>

</form></table>

Yep this is a duplicate, i'll see if I can track down the date when this regressed.
