<a href="#" onclick="open('http://www.mozilla.org','aname')">click</a>
should open a new browser window. But in M0.8/win98, it doesn't. Instead it only
erases the current document.
Maybe this is related to Bug 68955, but this one here affects all kinds of
elements and many different handlers and is independent of the return value. So
these examples also don't work:
<button onclick="open('http://www.mozilla.org','aname')">click</button>
<button onmouseover="open('http://www.mozilla.org','aname')">hover</button>
If you call a function which then opens the window, it will work. Similarly, if
you assign the handler as object property, it works:
document.links[0].onclick=function(){
open('http://www.mozilla.org','aname');
}
It also works in <body onload=...>.

I think this bug is invalid. Does your code work in any other browser? In event handlers AIUI, open === document.open. So use window.open(), if you mean that.
