[Javascript] window.open() not working in onLoad() of Mozilla 1.5

Sat May 1 07:53:00 CDT 2004

That is because window.open(), when not used in conjunction with a 
clickable area/link, is considered "popup" code. Mozilla's built in 
popup blocker would supress the event. This is standard in every browser 
available now with the exception of IE, but that is being corrected when 
XP Service Pack 2 is released later this month.
