Comment #11 on issue 2913 by [email protected]: Middle-click doesn't
open a new tab for an anchor link
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2913
Changing the title, this issue appears to be wider than Orkut.
If you look at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/links.html, you can
find the same behavior clicking on any of
the links in their contents box...
The trouble appears to be with the structure of the urls orkut (e.g. they
all look like anchor links)...
For example when you log in you are at:
http://www.orkut.com/Main#Home.aspx
Clicking on profile goes to the link:
http://www.orkut.com/Main#Profile.aspx?rl=ls&uid=11757915744198293446
That said, if you go to other links that don't match that pattern the
middle click works fine:
http://www.orkut.com/GLogin.aspx?cmd=logout
http://officialorkutblog.blogspot.com/
My sense is that we are interpreting those first two links as the same url,
since they look like anchor links, and
therefore loading into the same page (it views anything in /Main#.... as
the same page) as we do in the w3 case.
The behavior should probably always be to middle click open into a new
Window (regardless of if we are dealing with
a true anchor).
Ultimately our behavior should be consistent with FF, IE, and Safari they
will open anchor links in a new window on
a middle click.
