Description

[FERNANDO FERNALD]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021007

From the site: http://www.cnn.com/LOCAL/west/

When selecting the CNN affiliates on the right side panel, I get a full screen site, without toolbars, without Scroll bar (the page-down and page-up work properly). Even when pressing the CTRL key and clicking on the link to force a new tab, the site open a new window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. goto http://www.cnn.com/LOCAL/west/
2. select any affiliate (Indiana for example)
3. 

Actual Results:  
a new window is open

Expected Results:  
open a new tab or replace the present one.

browser, not bugzilla

I found out that when setting PROXOMITRON in Bypass mode, I got the toolbar properly (in a new window).

Reporter has indicated the missing images were the fault of his ad filter. As
for always opening a new window, the "GO" button on that form calls a javascript
function which explicitly opens a new window:

function goAffil (affilChoice) {
 window.open(document.go2.affil.options[document.go2.affil.selectedIndex].value);
 }

I recommend INVALID. Shirley mozilla is just doing what it's told here?

Since the reporter seems to ask for window.open to behave as a normal link, I am
resolving as a dupe of Bug 64560.
