184917 - Middle-clicking on a submission button should open new window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Nick Blievers]

On windows (w2k mozilla 1.2.1), middle clicking on the "search now" button at
http://www.travelocity.com does nothing.

On IRIX (6.5.18 running Mozilla 1.0.1 compiled with MipsPro, and Mozilla 1.1 
compiled with gcc), middle clicking on the "search now" 
button causes the browser to go "back" (eg equivilent to clicking the back 
button)

This is always reproducable.

The expected result is to open a window in a new tab/window (as in bug 70501)
or do nothing (as in windows).

The "Search Now" button is <input type=image...> of a fairly normal looking
form.

@Reporter: could you test the "middle-click-works-as-back-button" issue on a
newer IRIX build? In case that issue is fixed this bug could be marked as
dependent on bug 70501.

Thx.

Have you got a bug number for the "middle-click-works-as-back-button" issue?

It doesn't seem to be mentioned in 70501.

Anyway, middle clicking on the back button doesn't seem to open a new window (I 
assume this is what was expected?).

Ack, I've just tried this again (middle clicking on the image link), and all
that happens is I get whatever is in the buffer pasted into the URL bar!

BTW Sorry, I misread your post... ignore the previous add.

rich, can you confirm comment 1 or dismiss the bug?  (reporter, nickb, is gone)

[R Fleck]

Dismiss the bug.
Middle clicking works correctly according the preference
settings in seamonkey 1.0.2
and mozilla 1.8a.
