Not a popup in the traditional sense, merely a DIV layer that sits above the 
main page content.  Konqueror loads it too, but gets the rendering levels 
slightly wrong (or right) and the page just looks a bit wrong.

Traditional popups are created with javascript, which is what the popup 
blockers look for (afaik) - window.open.

I don't think they're meant to, but many of them do anyway.

As for IE - IE does weird shit with pages.
