This usually happens, but if you go to http://www.tsn.ca first, and then go back to http://courses.ece.utoronto.ca/ece451h1s then the behaviour changes, and the link is opened up in the whole window. This seems to be a problem because the right-hand frame on courses.ece.utoronto.ca/ece451h1s is called "main" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to www.tsn.ca 2. Go to courses.ece.utoronto.ca/ece451h1s 3. Click on the "instructors" link on the left-hand frame Actual Results: The link opens up in the whole window Expected Results: The link should open up in the right-hand frame

Correct. http://www.tsn.ca doing window.name="main", and "instructors" link use target=main. So this link target whole window.

Yeah, but I think we should be blowing that away when going to a different site....

BTW, IE 6.0 have 100% same bug. What stantarts say about this case?

What about NS4.x?

Same behaviour on NS 4.x, but not in IE 5.0

Mass-reassigning bugs to dom_bugs@netscape.com

The standards say nothing. If we're interoperable with other browsers on the market, then we're doing the right thing.
