Re: onclick="alert('hello');return false;" does not work in IE7?

other suggestions?

Perhaps you have a tag 'object' or 'embed' or 'applet' in same page ?
if yes, it is a problem with your Windows !
I've heard the last update added something blocking popups.

Microsoft have then published a medicine
(something to break the protection they have just created ... ! ! ! !)

You'ld have to put after last <object ...>

<script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script>

and have this ieupdate.js in same folder.

file 'ieupdate.js' :
====================
objects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i = 0; i < objects.length; i++)
{
objects[i].outerHTML = objects[i].outerHTML;
}

That is the old Eolas workaround, nothing to do with links or popups.
Eolas' "no activation w/o interaction" block is not IE or Windows
specific: it is the same for any law-obeyant UA made over the last
year-and-half. btw this old workaround was contested as legally clean
because the object tag source code is still coming from the page.
document.write from external file is the current way (see my "Eolas
workaround" post)
