I've been running some small test programs which seem to indicate
something noticed in a larger script, that a function called from
onLoad() in the <body> tag will not succeed in creating a window
(i.e. successfully executing window.open() in Mozilla 1.5; however,
I've observed it to work a few times in IE 6.0 and Opera 5.something.
It does not seem to be a timing thing -- if I re-call the function
somewhat later using setTimeout it still doesn't succeed. However,
a call to the same function from a link (a href=...) does succeed.
I'm wondering if I've overlooked something in the documentation.

It could just be that Mozilla is blocking pop-ups? I believe it does this
by default unless you configure it to do otherwise.
