Created attachment 38707 [details] Website that repros the problem Deploy attached zip file wwwroot.zip as a website. Open http://localhost/ecp in Safari 4.0.2 or later: - In this website, there are 2 folders (for example /owa, /ecp) and there is a index.htm inside each folder. - From /ecp, open a modal dialog for /owa - From /owa modal dialog, open a window (nomal window/modal dialog) for url “?ae=test” Actual: - The result is that the new window navigates to new location using /ecp as its base url instead of /owa. Expected: - The new window navigates to new location using /owa as its base url.

Confirmed as a difference with Firefox. Since there are no known sites affected by this issue, and the idea of opening new windows from modal dialogs leads to extremely confusing user experience anyway, this is not a P1. Maybe we should just disallow opening new windows and modal dialogs from a modal dialog?

showModalDialog is gone, do we need to fix this now?
