Another problem is that after you open a new window (via target), you can't get
a bookmarked page to load in that window. The bookmarked page actually loads in
the parent window.


1) Go to http://www.macminute.com

2) Click on one of the page's links

3) A new window is opened 

4) Select a bookmark from the Boomarks menu

5) Page loads in the parent window instead of current top -most window.
