Detecting when my browser opens a new browser window

[Mortisus]

Hi all,
I need to find a way to run a piece of script whenever a new browser
window is created (either a new window spawned by pressing Ctrl+N, a
link that opens in a new window, a pop-up, etc.). One thing that might
help is that I only need to support this ability on IE6.0+ browsers.

I tried to achieve this by tapping into the NewWindow2 event, but with
no success so far. I am not sure this is the right way to go. My
alternative is to write a C++/VB code that taps into that events, but I
hope I can find a way to achieve this in JavaScript.

My warmest thanks!
Gil

AFAIK...

You can't do that with javascript (MSIE).

You need a COM add-on (VB, C#, etc) for IE.
You would write an extension in Firefox using javascript.

In both cases, it is something that the user has to install.
