[RESOLVED] NoScript not blocking javascript link?

I happened to be looking at this site (http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_3053550) and when I clicked on the "View larger photo" link under the photo it brings up the enlarged view of the weather station. When I put my cursor on the link, the Firefox status bar indicates that a ".jpg" file will be displayed. At the link itself, Firefox indicates the a Javascript command will be run to create a window to contain the display of the ".jpg" file.

"[a href="javascript:openSizedPopUp('pop_alternate_view.asp?t=l&pif=30/30535-50.eps.jpg', 550, 550);"]View larger photo[/a]"

Since I have this site blocked by NoScript, I would assume that the above command would not work. Is this particular method of calling Javascript not covered by NoScript? Could this be a problem?

Thanks

Not a problem. Working as intended.

Attempt to fix JavaScript links (enabled by default): this means that NoScript will try to turn javascript: links into normal ones on untrusted sites as you click them, improving usability of the most unfriendly pages.
