(Whiteboard: [jk-target])

When using a target in the '<link rel ...>' statement the target is ignored by Mozilla (when using frame of course). Instead of opening in the specified frame the link is openen in the '_top' frame. (Behaviour is specified in the HTML 4.01 specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/links.html#edef-LINK ) Used version is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120 Only tested on the Linux version, it may occur on other platforms too.

Haven't worked on Mozilla for several months and this is unlikely to change soon.

Sorry, how do I activate this link? It's sitting in the head.

This bug still happens, he is the way to reproduce it: Open the test page, and then click on the 'Search' option of the More menu in the toolbar. The expected behaviour is a new page in the bottom (main) frame. The actual behaviour is a new page in the '_top' frame. (Not in a frame actually) Here is a copy/past of that frameset: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Mozilla test</title> <link href="search.html" target="main" rel="search"> ^^^^^^^^^^^^ - this target is ignored! </head> <frameset rows="100,*"> <frame src="header.html"> <frame src="bottom.html" name="main"> </frameset> </html> I've already searched through the link toolbar, but from what I could see a call to the JavaScript function loadURI is performed there. This is a wrapper around another XPCOM loadURI function. Unfortunelaty I couldn't find a parameter for the destination frame of a link.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED

As per the comment above, this bug still exists in 1.3
This is not a frames bug. This is a UI bug in the link toolbar. The UI needs fixing.
