You have not read the FAQ entry, have you? If there is no fallback, then an “a[href]” element should not have been used in the first place. Besides, the problem then is the unhandled exception. What actually happens is that the location of the window does change in that case, too, which is another reason why it is a bad idea (unless you make tests). -- PointedEars FAQ: | | Twitter: @PointedEars2 | Please do not cc me./Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.
