JSF: h commandlink action is opening a new pop-up of the same page instead of calling the bean method

Question

I had a look at this question but I could not fully understand where the issue is

commandLink/commandButton/ajax backing bean action/listener method not invoked

My issue is that when I click on the link, it opens up a new pop up window but of the same page. Of course, nothing is rendered there.

This is the form:

<h:form id="PipelineOpportunities">
    <h:dataTable var="pipelineOppor"
                 value="#{my.pipeLineList}"
                 id="pipleLineTable"
                 binding="#{myBean.pipleLineTable}">
        <td>
            <h:column>
                <h:selectBooleanCheckbox
                    onclick="selectedPipeOpportunities(this, '#{pipelineOppor.pipelineOpportunityID}');"
                    value="#{pipelineOppor.pipelineOpportunityID}">
                </h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
            </h:column>
        </td>
        <td>
            <h:column>
                <h:outputText value="#{pipelineOppor.topic}" />
            </h:column>
        </td>
        <td>
            <h:column>
                <h:outputText value="#{pipelineOppor.createdOn}" />
                <f:attribute name="float" value="left"/>
            </h:column>
        </td>
        <td>
            <h:column>
                <h:commandLink value="#{myBean.productSizeMap[pipelineOppor.pipelineOpportunityID]}" action="#{myBean.loadMyMethod}" >
                </h:commandLink>
            </h:column>
        </td>
    </h:dataTable>
</h:form>

This is what I have declared in my bean

private Map opportunityProductMap;
private Map productSizeMap;
private HtmlDataTable pipleLineTable;
private Map selectedIds = new HashMap();
public String loadMyMethod() {}

After the page is rendered and I click on any of the links, it opens up a new pop up instead of hitting the server. The new pop up is the same as the parent page without the styling or the data. Just plain text

So my question is what must I do to get the managed bean's method to get invoked

Is any error given in the javascript console? press F12 to open the console and then click on the link again. — RafaelTSCS, Oct 23 '15 at 10:45
There's no error showing. There's nothing inside the loadMyMethod method. I've just put a print statement to check if the control is coming into the method. — Sujay DSa, Oct 23 '15 at 10:49
and please format and clean-up your code examples and make it an [mcve]. Hard to read (and with lots of 'errors') — Kukeltje, Oct 23 '15 at 10:59
This is not the default behavior. Try another browser/machine to exclude malware from being the cause. — BalusC, Oct 23 '15 at 11:32
