No, Gardener is right. This is do to the "sandbox" protection that keeps javascript from affecting other windows it was not related to in opening.
Also, I forgot that I should mention that WebTV may have problems with the popups in that they may be forced to the popup window and then to their messages and then back to browsing. Actually, the popup may not open at all for WebTV.
