  • 0

I have a static HTML page which is named via JavaScript as such: window.name = "windowname". This window opens a popup window, which contains links that target windowname.

This works as expected in IE/FF/Chrome and opens the links on the opener, however, Safari opens all links in a new window and not the opener.

Is anyone aware of a workaround or solution to this other than using JavaScript to open the links via opener.location.href? Is this a security feature of Safari or some other kind of issue?

Thanks in advance

    No resolution for this was ever found, I had to go with a method that didn’t use pop-up windows due to this.

    thanks for the effort.
