if so i guess you could check if js is enabled for a certain user and if not rewrite a page without the js bits, simply when there is no js you open a popup with a _blank target, etc.
if it's not pumped up from perl, you have to staticly rewrite the html.. and that would be a pain..
that would of course work, but it's not a very elegant solution as it would introduce quite some new if statments into the code. And it would also require a profile option to switch js on/off. Somekind of code which gracefully falls back to non-js when no js is available would be nicer IMHO. So I'd rather not do that.
I make them look like tabs, which is even better. :P But fake links can't be opened in a new tab the normal way because that bypasses the onclick action, so I'm forced to memorise which links are js fake links in order to navigate anidb.
Ohhh... that's a "real" browser?
I'm glad I use a "good" browser instead!
Not only that popups are just stupid but that the profile option in AniDB never worked well and even while disabled I keep getting them (there is a tracker entry for this exp never managed to close).

I have all of mine open in new tabs, and I don't have that problem... I use Firefox with Tab Mix (I know it is not one of the more popular tab extensions, but it works the way I want.
BTW, I also used to do the same thing with Maxthon with no trouble.
I agree, though, that pop-ups should be profile specific. I can manually open things in new tabs when I want, I don't need the system to do it for me.

(As it happens, that is exactly the same tabs extension I use.) I think you misunderstand my problem. I open a lot of normal links in other tabs (can be accomplished with a modifier key or another mouse button); this method completely fails to do anything but open the same page I was at in another tab if I use it on a fake link.

Sorry, I see... What I meant was that I have popups/new windows automatically show up as new tabs (instead of windows), but you are right, fake links are quite annoying.
like Opera
