Hi Dan, thanks for that fingertipp, it makes me understand its behaviour. But nonetheless there's now the question: why is this iframe not opened as an iframe but as a new tab? What can force a modern browser (Firefox 2.0.x) to open an iframe in a new tab?
I'm a bit confused about that... Greetings Arne > -----Original Message----- > From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Dan G.
