Answer 2

+1 A:

Not sure but are you assigning each new reference of a window to a variable? This creates problems but if you put a variable, it gets new reference each time and things inside jquery loops work fine.

I have updated the code as follows:myWin = window.open(url, i+term.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/g,'_'));

Answer 3

+2 A:

If I remember correctly, the popup blocker from IE7+ allows just one new window per user interaction in javascript, and then blocks them.

Answer 4

+1 A:

Sorry, I can't follow your one-line unformatted code. But the following does work in all browsers I have available including Firefox 3.5, Opera 10, Chrome 3 and Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"&gt;
<html lang="es">
<head><title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function openLinks(){
    var linkList = [
     "http://www.google.es",
     "http://www.yahoo.com",
     "http://www.bing.com",
     "http://stackoverflow.com",
     "http://serverfault.com/"
    ];

    $(linkList).each(function(){
     window.open(this);
    });
}
//--></script>
</head>
<body>

<input type="button" onclick="openLinks()" value="Open lots of links">

</body>
</html>

Typical mistakes related to popup windows include:

Assigning IDs to windows and reusing the same ID -> Assign different IDs (or none if not needed)
Opening unrequested popups -> Let the user trigger the action
