11244 - Huge bug when targetting frames from different servers

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect, P3)

Description

[[e-mail]]

There is a bug in Netscape 4.5X and more when you use 'target'
in diffent frames from different servers.

description:
========
You have a page divided in two frames
the A frame (name = 'frameA') comes from A SERVER (test.bazar.ch)
the B frame (name = 'frameB') comes from B SERVER (www.bazar.ch)
the frameset page is on the A SERVER

On B frame, there is a link for targetting the A frame('frameA')
by clickin on this link, your browser open the new url in the A frame (in
this case : news.com)

With netscape 4.5x or 4.6 :
When you're clicking the SAME LINK,
your Netscape browser open a NEW WINDOW

Is it a bug, is it a new level of security ?
(I think it is a bug)

Correct; this is a feature, not a bug. Reassigning to correct parties to resolve
as invalid. (assuming also the behavior in 5.0)

(beppe, please see bug Bugsplat bug #356874 for more information, in order to
decide what you'd like to do with this...)

setting to an approximate milestone so it can be off of the no TFV list
