Based on information provided I assume that you are trying to attach the load handler to one of your target element on click event and after first click the event handler should not fire.

Hence I can suggest you to use the once option of the addEventListener() method:

element.addEventListener('click', load.bind(this), false, false);

You could try like this

Store your window state in one variable and re use it when you want to open other URL

<script type="text/javascript">
   var popupWin = null;
   function load() {
       popupWin =   window.open('http://...','_blank');
   }

  function openOtherURL(){      
     popupWin.location.href = url;

  }

</script>

You could try storing the state of your popup in a var :

var popupShown = false;

function load() {
    if(!popupShown) window.open('http://...','_blank');
    popupShown=true;
}
