65222 - target attribute ignored on links to local anchors

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[jsp]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010109
BuildID:    2001010901

The <a> element's target attribute is ignored for links within a document.
Rather than bringing up a new window, the current window is used.  The target is
navigated to correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Click each of the links in the attachment (to follow).

Actual Results:  Clicking the first link makes the link location visible if it
isn't already.

Clicking the second link attempts to bring up a (nonexistent) document in a new
window.


Expected Results:  Clicking the first link should bring up the same document in
a new window.

Clicking the second link should result in the behavior described in "Actual
Results."  (In other words, it's correct.)

For the record, this is probably related in some way to the various other bugs
with "target" in their summaries, but I didn't see any that described quite this
behavior.

I'm betting this isn't in fact me but I don't have time to research it right 
now.


This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer
working on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or
another known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work
in some way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

I just tried the testcase on win98 build 2001060720 and it seems to work fine.

Can someone else confirm?
