Open new window glitch

Whenever I click any link from this site that prompts a new window to be automatically openned, IE9 opens a new tab (good) AND takes the current tab to the link (bad).

Please fix.

And if anyone says "Switch to Firefox/Chrome/BrowseWitch/TahitiTimerBrowser/Safarareeee," I'm not changing browsers to use one freakin' website. A browser as common as IE should work on any site.

For example:

Clicking an upload link activates a new window.

On IE9, it opens in a new tab, AND the old window navigates to the address.

Another one. SYS just shouted this.

"like this: http://i55.tinypic.com/x1wqdk.jpg "

So ANY navigation that opens a new window causes this glitch.

ahem.

I realize there are other pressing matters like the color of the shoutbox buttons. But...

:P

Bump.

I know not a lot of folk on here use IE, but this is starting to tick me off. x_x

So for example, the following link does not work the way you want? Prelude No. 1 Example

Can you tell me what happens on your end?

Exactly what I described. I click it, the current tab goes to it AND it opens a new tab.

I can't replicate this problem as I don't have IE 9, however you can help me diagnose this. The url structures to test:

<a rel="nofollow external" title="External link" class="bbc_url" href="http://www.youngcomposers.com/profile/music/tuohey/composition?entry=78542">Prelude No. 1 Example</a>

<a title="External link" class="bbc_url" href="http://www.youngcomposers.com/profile/music/tuohey/composition?entry=78542">Prelude No. 1 Example</a>

<a class="bbc_url" href="http://www.youngcomposers.com/profile/music/tuohey/composition?entry=78542">Prelude No. 1 Example</a>

<a href="http://www.youngcomposers.com/profile/music/tuohey/composition?entry=78542">Prelude No. 1 Example</a>

Do me a favor, and copy the above into a txt file, then rename this file to html. Then double click on all of the URL's. Does the same problem occur to all the links?

Clever.

Okay, I went to Word, saved it as a text file, went to notepad and saved the text as "testestwilde.html", and only one of the links is actually a link. The rest of the code didn't do anything.

Aaaaand that link just goes right to the page. It doesn't open a new window.

nm. stand by

okay, I figured it out.

All links work, but they all open in current tab.

I might have to take this up with IPB, I can't figure out what the problem is so it must be an IPB glitch.

Please verify that this has been fixed. It was not necessarily a glitch with IPB, but with the javascript library called prototype. Prototype 1.6 isn't compatible with IE9, and IPB 3.1.4 was packaged with 1.6. I uploaded prototype 1.7, so let me know if this did the trick.

fixed!

...though I notice a new issue.
