Details
On http://www.gccprinters.com/worldwide/ click on the Switzerland link. This immediatly and consistantly crashes my browser. I believe this is because the link has a target="main_frame" part of the href. Other browsers create the frame in a new window and open the page there when the target frame does not already exist. Tested with build 2000091212

works on win32 (windows2000) build# 2000090908
this works for me with 091408 mozilla linux build on RedHat 6.2. Clicking hte link opens a new window which loads it's contents correctly. Over to HTML element ofr confirmation

I see this with PR3 as well. Talkback incidentid = TB18608143W. This makes the product unusable for me. This problem does NOT occur with M17.
Marc- What platform and exact version of PR3 are you using (I guess that question is one and the same). I couldn't reproduce the problem on Linux, as I said above- could you maybe give me some tips and hints about how you did it??? Thanks. -d
The 2000091212 build that I reported this with is the only build that I have actually seen this problem in, just for the record. I have tested this problem with several builds since then and the problem has not reoccured.
This is what I did. Install PR3 in /home/marcl/netscape6 (Buildid 2000092909.) Start mozilla (cd /home/marcl/netscap6;netscape) and then go to this bug. Load attachment 10 [details]/05/00 17:36. Click on "new window" link. CRASH everytime.
Marc- Could you try with a newer build since I can't seem to get a handle on this bug? If its been fixed by now then we can close it out. Perhaps something got corrupted in the installation?? Thanks. -d
I cannot replicate with 2000100613.
