This is your standard "hijack the window" [*] scenario. Basically, it works like this - you open a new window with the same exact name as the Popup ad window. Then, once you are the owner of the window - you close it out. Try putting this little script in your page:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var winname1="So";
var winname2="me";
var windowname=winname1+winname2;
arbitrary = window.open("http://yahoo.com", windowname,
"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes,status=no,width=530,height=230");
arbitrary.close();
// -->
</script>
<TITLE>Your Title Goes Here</TITLE>
</HEAD>

* The term "hijacking" in reference to popup ads was coined by Bill Webb. Check out his excellent Web site with lots more info about hijacking windows - Counterexploitation and the Free Webpage Provider
