Strange Window popup behaviour on IE7

We have written a small javascript function which checks if a URL should open in same window or a popup. In cases when a url should open in a new window IE is giving some strange behaviour a window popup flashes and closes with a beep sound. Can anybody suggest whats going behind the scenes i do not think its my javascript which is wrong. Is it some browser weird behaviour.

Yep, this sounds like some third party stuff. By default IE will try to guess what it should do with popups (open in a popup window, open in a new tab, don't open at all) but it won't try to open a window and close it immediately (unless caused by some addons or code included in the page). JavaScript errors shouldn't cause the window to close either (unless they really call window.close()).

I suspect you have a third party pop-up blocker installed.
