Jan, Gez, I'm talking about a simple: onclick="window.open(this.href,'myPopup'); return false;" In this particular case, if you consider normal to arbitrary ignore the "window.open" statement, then why do you consider "outrageous" to ignore "return false". IMO, that's a smart way for a blocker to give control to the user over the popups without killing the links. I know Opera's blocker behaves this way, so if it violates ECMA-262 I believe it's for a good cause ;). FMI, do you actually know blockers that kill these links?
