Description

« Hide

When an image is clicked which resides in a link, the href attribute is retrieved correctly, but the target attribute is ignored.

I have tried this in Firefox on Windows and Linux.

This patch solves the issue on my system. I didn't notice any new failures in the test suite when applied.

This is NOT the best solution, as indicated by the comments.

This does not handle the BASE tag, and only looks for A tags, but the target attribute can apply to A, AREA, BASE, FORM and LINK tags.

Testcase

test.html contains the test. The open statement will require modification depending on where this is unzipped.
