Neat. I may be slow to this, but I just discovered the Google
Toolbar's anti-popup feature. It will deactivate the onUnload
javascript function, which won't eliminate all pop-ups, but it will
get those annoying ones that happen when you're trying to leave
somewhere. (To get to the feature, click on the Google logo, go to
Toolbar Options, and then Experimental Features. [screenshot]. There's
some other interesting stuff there, too.)

I turn off that function which is capturing popup window and it works.

Cheers,

Hsun-Cheng
