always forcing a new tab to open for longdesc URL is not good as one of the use cases is to point to content elsewhere on the same page

(In reply to steve faulkner from comment #1) > always forcing a new tab to open for longdesc URL is not good as one of the > use cases is to point to content elsewhere on the same page do you mean "#id" url? shouldn't we just scroll the that id instead of reloading the page?

so longdesc behavior should be the same as <a href="">, correct?

Hello Steve, can you give us an example page where you can see the problem? I have tested it on: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_img_longdesc [right-click] on the pic and choose "View Description" on my site it opens in same tab than the picture is in.

You can test this by using aViewer [http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/aviewer/] and activating the action by pressing/clicking it in the MSAA tree view (tight side panel).
