clicking on svg element with xlink:href broken in ie7 ?

[b***@adobeforums.com]

I have some Javascript like this:
..
svgElement = svgDoc.getElementById("someElementID");
svgElement.setAttribute("xlink:href","foo.html");
..
This worked fine in IE6 but seems to be broken in IE7. On mouseover, the URL displays correctly in the status bar, but when you click, the only thing that happens is that the status bar clears. No window opens.

I'm using ASV 3.03.

Any clues? Anybody tried anything like this on Internet Explorer 7 yet?

IE7 has a pop-up blocker that apparently stops this action by default.

I was able to change the settings to allow the pop-up: Tools -> Pop-up Blocker -> Pop-up Blocker Settings, and add the name of the host where the JavaScript is running.

Enjoy.

It WAS working, now it stopped. Bizarre. Something tells me IE7 may not be quite as ready to use as Microsoft would have us believe.
