No they don't, on many UA's they all open the first way, they immediately attempt to "blur" themselves/focus the main window - which might set them under, but that just generates more focus changes, not less. Windows automatically changing focus which is what a popunder does, is much less usable than a window opening - a popunder is a popup + automatic focus changes. (Do any "real" browsers prevent automatic focus changes other than by disabling javascript?) Jim.
