Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050116

If we use page with frames and some action on it calls java script function 
which opens popup window which in turn calls submit of form with target in main 
frame, then Mozilla opens new window instead of 'main' page

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
there are 4 html files: 
-------------------
index.html
------------------
<html>
<frameset COLS="25%, *">
	<frame name="frame1" src="frame1.html">
	<frame name="frame2" src="frame2.html">
</frameset>
</html>
------------------------
frame1.html
--------------------
<html>
frame 1 - the place where we want to target form action from popup window
</html>
--------------------------
frame1_new.html
---------------------
<html>
here we go from popup window - should be frame1
</html>
----------------------------
frame2.html
----------------------------
<html>
<script>
	function testBug() {
		var myWindow = window.open("", "myTest");
		var doc = myWindow.document;
		doc.open();
		doc.write("<html><body");
		doc.writeln(" onload=\"document.forms[0].submit() ;self.close
(); \">");
		doc.writeln("<form target=\"frame1\" 
action=\"frame1_new.html\">");
		doc.writeln("</form></body></html>");
		doc.close();
	}
</script>	

frame 2<br>
<input type="button" value="test bug" onclick="testBug();" />

</html>
----------------------------

2. launch index.html in Mozilla.
3. press 'test bug' button

Actual Results:  
new window with frame1_new.html is opened

Expected Results:  
it should find the already opened frame with name 'frame1' and target submit 
there
