The window.open() method does not use the base url for the containing document
when opening relative links.  Of note is that Netscape 4 exhibits the correct
behavior while Internet Explorer 5.5 and Opera 5 exhibit the same (I believe
incorrect) behavior that Mozilla currently does.
Browser, not engine --> DOM Level 0
Assignee: rogerl → jst
Component: Javascript Engine → DOM Level 0
QA Contact: pschwartau → desale
Confirming behavior with Mozilla binaries 20010731xx on WinNT, Linux, Mac.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the URL http://www.imsa.edu/~vader21/basetest/
2. Click on the "subdir" link
3. This will open a child window
4. The URL of this child window in NN4.7 is
   http://www.imsa.edu/~vader21/basetest/next.html
5. The URL of this child window in Mozilla is this instead:
   http://www.imsa.edu/~vader21/basetest/subdir/next.html

Ever confirmed: true
Here is the HTML for the parent URL:

<title>Index of /~vader21/basetest</title>
