when you click on view larger photo, that pop up never shows up.  I have enabled
all pop ups from that site but they still do not work.

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Looks like a normal window.open to me (and also wfm here):
function pop(url, width, height){
  popup = window.open(url, 'popup', 'width=' + width + ',height=' + height +
',scrollbars=yes');
  popup.focus();
  return;
}

Reporter: Do you get any errors in JS Console when clicking that link?

Frank, it also WFM with Firefox 1.4.1 rv: 1.8b5 build 20051003 but it does not
work when using Seamonkey 1.1a rv: 1.9a1 build 2005100405 under XP Pro SP2 here.

I went to the site. This is the calling function:

<A HREF="javascript: pop('/srs7/g=guitar/content/cpd=YZXI/base_pid=110436/',
500, 500);">View Larger Photo</a>

and the file

http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/js/site.js

has 

function pop(url, width, height){
  popup = window.open(url, 'popup', 'width=' + width + ',height=' + height +
',scrollbars=yes');
  popup.focus();
  return;
}

If I type in the javascript console in the evaluate text box (in Seamonkey 1.1a)
this:
window.open("/srs7/g=guitar/content/cpd=YZXI/base_pid=110436/", "popup",
"width=500,height=500,scrollbars");
and then click the evaluate button, the js console will report:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMJSWindow.open]"  nsresult: "0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: javascript:
window.open("/srs7/g=guitar/content/cpd=YZXI/base_pid=110436/", "popup",
"width=500,height=500,scrollbars"); :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1"  data: no]

but the same steps with Firefox 1.4.1 in the js console over there will be
carried out without a itch.

On the other hand,
If I type in the javascript console evaluate text box (in Seamonkey 1.1a) this:
window.open("http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/content/cpd=YZXI/base_pid=110436/",
"popup", "width=500,height=500,scrollbars");
and then click the evaluate button, the secondary window pops up as expected and
I get no js console error reported.

reporter, do you have any ad remover / firewall that might remove script that
looks like an ad?

WFM. Bubba, could you try this in one of the most recent builds? There was some
JS bustage in builds from earlier.
