User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030612 Case sensitivity in framenames works not good when referenced in targets. Situation: Frameset with two frames: MSbasic and MSindex url in index loaded frame file: <a href="MSinfo.php" target="MSbasis" accesskey="I">Information</a> Does not load in the MSbasic frame, but in the full screen. When all frame names are in lower case (and ofcourse the target reference, than it works fine. Good working link for the frame with name "msbasic" is: <a href="MSinfo.php" target="msbasis" accesskey="I">Information</a> IE 5.5 does it fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. It is a major bug because website navigation will be destroyed by websites who has this bug. People will choose another browser. It is probably easy to fix. Sounds like a upper/lower case problem.

The issue appears to be with the target attribute being treated as case-sensitive, as the problem can be reproduced outside of frames by varying the case of the target and watching how new windows open.
Comment on attachment 126571 [details] Testcase Actually, I'm wrong and my testcase works as it should, since target is a case-insensitive attribute. Oops.

New testcase. The frame name appears to be treated as case sensitive in Mozilla and IE6. It is not treated as case-senstive by Opera 7. Both links open in the frame despite the difference in case.
Confirming new in 20030614 PC/WinXP but I can't help but think I'm missing some nuance here that explains it. ->Parser for triage(?)

Summary: target name reference in frames does not work case sensitive. It opens in a full screen. → Frame name treated as case-sensitive
Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce the bug. It is probably very specific and less important than I thought. So it's a typing mistake or hard too reproduce. Sorry bothering you.
