on build 2000021516 If an HTML page is split into two frames, one on the left and one on the right, where links from the right frame specify a target frame other than itself, the target frame is ignored and the link is opened in the same frame as the link appears. This appears to happen on any page that meets the afformentioned criteria. As a secondary note the browser would not aalow me to fill out any section of this report form after the assigned to field. i was forced to use IE to fill out this form

Reassigning to Eric.

Same problem with targets on linux build 2000-2-15-10. Nominating for Beta 1, raising severity to critical. We can't have this in the beta, now can we? If your problem with filling out forms can be reproduced, I suggest filing a seperate bug report for it. (of course, check to see if it already exists first!) And I'm sorry that you had to use IE.

Sounds like bug 21287 / bug 21287 reopened again.

Did I say that? I meant bug 21287 / bug 25308. :)

Not quite. These are reqular links, tag: <a href="somepage" target="someframe"> . The page is opened in the frame containing the link. In bug 21287 it opens in a new window. Bug 25308 involves the <base> tag and <iframe>, also opens in a new window.

This is fixed in the 2000-2-16-09 linux build, BUT there is a new issue: the link will load the page in the correct frame, but the back button loads the previous page in the wrong frame. Should this be filed as a seperate bug??

yes.

Marking Verified.
