can javascript work correctly in spry:when?

[Seedseeker]

why the window.open("http://www.ibm.com/"); is alway running even the address
is not equal to 'ibm'

<div spry:choose="spry:choose">
<div spry:when="'{address}' == 'ibm">IBM
<script language="JavaScript">
window.open("http://www.ibm.com/");
</script>
</div>
<div class="text09" spry:default="spry:default"></div>
</div>

Remember that the code is on the page and all Spry will be doing is to hide the non-choosen item. So for your code the script tag is still on the page and therefore the browser runs the contained script, in this case opening the window.
I've not delved into this part of Spry, but you should ask your question in the Spry forums:
