However, it will also follow to the link as if it had been clicked regularly too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/ 2.Open "STi Information Forum" or any sub forum, as a new tab. 3. Actual Results: The link opens in a new tab, and in the parent window. Expected Results: Just open in the tab. This behaviour did not occur in older versions of the app.
Also happens for me on this same page using 1.2.1 and Win2K. However, I looked at the source, and the table element containing the link has the following property: onClick="window.location.href='forumdisplay.php?s=15336117a891aa4d6ea91f0767d0b008&forumid=83'" Looks like the java script that is doing it and not the fault of the browser.
Work for me with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030129, no new windows at all.
I believe this is fixed in the latest nightlies. WFM 2003013104, Windows 98. Reporter, please download the latest nightly build, install it, and try it again. Alternatively, wait for a few days and download and install Mozilla 1.3 beta when it becomes available. Does that fix the problem?
