Why does Google Chrome's popup blocker shoot down a link when it contains an image or any other tag?


After some testing:

  • Chrome Version - 25.0.1364.172 m : worked fine!
  • Chrome Version - 26.0.1410.43 m : worked fine!

the "normal" way to open a tab is working in both newer versions.Tested!

my code:

<?phpecho '     <a href="http://www.google.com" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;">       <img src="http://static.adzerk.net/Advertisers/2565.png" alt="foo" />     </a>     ';?>

the problem should be in your pages...
