Actually it depends on what popup blocker you use. The popup on enter is not really a popup window, it's a modeless dialog. It's kind of like a hahahahahahahahahaha alert, except that you can specify the content. By nature, ANY link clicked in a modeless dialog will open in a new window, but if your blocker is well written, it will block those windows, so the links will appear not to work.
Google and Yahoo do NOT block popups that are initiated from a modeless dialog, but some other ones probably do.
Incidentally, I can't get the popup on exit to work anywhere. The example works fine, but copying the source and putting it on my localhost or one of my servers doesn't work at all.
A few more things you may have noticed about the modeless dialogs:
1. No menu or toolbar.
2. you can't use CTRL-N to open the page in a new window
3. right click doesn't work at all
4. Neither does CTRL-W
