Hi. I've heard some rumors I can't seem te replicate. And now I'm curious if any of you have experiences with this issue.
Our analytics system uses JavaScript to generate an image of 1x1 pixels. This 'image' is registering all of our visitors behaviour.
Now consider the following (simplified) JavaScript code:
function visitLink (url)
{
var randomNumber = Math.random();
var img = new Image();
img.src = 'http://www.example.com/log?url=' + escape(url) + '&' + randomNumber;
window.open(link.href);
return false;
}
Rumor says; window.open can block the background loading of img.src in some versions of FireFox.
It's working in my version of FireFox though. Am I seeing ghosts here? If not; any idea how to replicate the issue?
