"This summer, Microsoft will put a pop-up blocking feature in the next
release of Internet Explorer."

What are the implications for using Frames in Java applets?

With Google's pop-up-blocker, Java Frames are not blocked. However, new
browser windows opened using showDocument are blocked
(http://segal.org/java/pop_window2/) though Google says the showDocument
behavior is a bug.

Will Microsoft's pop-up-blocker stop Java Frames? Or showDocument?

The only way I know of blocking unwanted java applets
(short of disabling java) is to add a bogus entry in your hosts file.

Eg.

# Thwart RedSheriff browser tracking applet
127.0.0.1 secure-au.imrworldwide.com

Do you mean HTML frame, or JFrame?

Do you mean HTML frame, or JFrame?

I mean java.awt.Frame

I wonder if Microsoft regards the blocking of showDocument as a bug. Google
said they regard it as a bug in their pop-up blocker.

Here is another site where the documentation for the applet is blocked by
Google's pop-up blocker:
