Details

If you call window.open with an empty URL string, i.e. "", the new window does not set the referrer correctly when a document is added. The above URL demonstrates the problem. When you click on an image thumbnail, the image is supposed to show up in a new window. The CGI that pushes the image is returning a red stop sign because the referrer is empty. Presumably this is happening because most documents are loaded from URLs where the channel will say what the referrer was. In this instance, there is no channel.
