I have a pretty plain vanilla site. Demoing for the client, she got out her Blackberry and for some reason when she clicks the navigation links she is always prompted to open the page in a new tab. This didn’t happen with other example responsive sites we looked at. What in blazes could I be missing??

If this helps at all, here is what my navigation markup looks like:

<nav>
    <a href="/" class="active agenda">Agenda</a>
    <a href="/ask/" class=" ask">Ask?</a>
    <a href="/refer/" class=" refer">Refer</a>
    <a href="/accounts/profile" class=" me">Me</a>
</nav>

I am using HTML5BP and the 320 and up framework. No JS is even running on the page. Seriously, what the hell…

    The Bold I am familiar with, the 9650, started out with OS 5, but was later upgraded to OS 6. So it could still be either OS 5 with RIM’s terrible browser, or OS 6 with Apple’s webkit, depending on whether your client has done an OS upgrade on the device.

    RIM’s simulators are pretty good for reproducing problems like this, if you don’t have a BlackBerry device to test with. Go to http://us.blackberry.com/sites/developers/resources/simulators.html and scroll down to the “BlackBerry Smartphone Simulators” section to see all the simulators you can try. The simulators require Windows to run.
