Why did/does this markup work in other UAs? Or does it not?
According to the Chromium bugs about Unicenter, Unicenter doesn't work in Opera
or in WebKit-based browsers--only in Firefox and IE.
Exciting. :(
When <base target> follows the <a>, IE6 ignores the target, because IE6 honors the
most recent <base>.
That's the Gecko 1.9.2 and earlier behavior as well, right?
IE7 and later ignore <base> outside <head>, so a <base> following an <a> gets
ignored due to that reason.
Right, and that breaks other sites, which is why we changed away from
that behavior...
I can't say I like the IE6/old-Gecko behavior, but it may be the most
web-compatible. :(
