STV Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 it wasnt a bad attempt at making a "stab at firefox". he didnt really "miss" either. this shows that even the almighty firefox isnt as secure as you would like to believe. so what if i didnt get the popup in IE, that just proves that I know how to use IE. FYI, the MSN toolbar didnt even have a popup to catch because of my settings. I have said it hundreds of times and here it is: IE, like anything else, can be as secure as firefox.

nexx Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Firefox 0.8 (havent upgraded on this computer yet) Didnt get any popups, however I noticed that when I disable the popup blocker, I get two popups that appear for a fraction of a second, then dissapear. This also happens in IE. Firefox does not block all popups, it allows certain ones that would be classed as requested, such as when a user clicks on a link to show a popup, this site may be exploiting that. Best post this at the Mozillazine forums where people know more about it, and can alert the developers. PS: Keira Knightley is hot :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnmnky Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 It launches the pop up on an onclick event of the links. Which is classed by you browser as an authorised pop up in _most_ cases. The script add the pop up code to each link on the page, so that you get the pop up (usually) on your first click for (i=0; i< dl.length; i++) { if (dl[i].onclick==null && dl[i].target==""){ dl[i].onclick = gopaypopup; } } The gopaypopup function is then run, launching the pop up window. Very sneaky method of getting around current pop up blockers. The only way around this, would be to block scripted additions to Anchor tags. Which would be a bad thing for legitimate techniques used by developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
