63595 - link target ignored on linked images with ismap attribute

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

Description

[a.m.ingraldi]

There is a bug in Mozilla (and Netscape 6) that manifests itself if a page
includes a hyperlink wrapped around an embedded image and the embedded IMG tag
includes the ismap attribute.

In such a situation, if the hyperlink includes a target specifier, the target
will not be honored by Mozilla.

Apparently, the presence of the ismap attribute on the IMG tag is the source of
the problem.  Visit http://ad-www.larc.nasa.gov/~ingraldi/netscape6bug.html to
see an example of the problem.

Both images work fine for me as links.

Reporter, make sure you have the latest nightly, avaliable off mozilla.org's
homepage

OK, I'm seeing this now. The top image link in the testcase does not open in a
new window (the target). Confirming.

Seems to be working now with recent Linux CVS.  Closing WORKSFORME.  Reporter:
