Summary Anchor targeting does not work right with javascript: URLs
Boris Zbarsky
Reported 2017-10-10 14:32:10 PDT
STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Load the testcase. 2. Click the link. EXPECTED RESULTS: The alert should say "Should be about:blank: about:blank" ACTUAL RESULTS: The alert says: "Should be about:blank: XXXX" where XXXX is the actual url of the testcase page. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The HTML spec is pretty clear on this: the target is used to find the right browsing context before any script gets run, and then it runs in the current window in the target browsing context. Safari is running it in the wrong window. Note, in particular, that this: <a href="javascript:alert(location.href)" target="_blank">Click me</a> should open a new window and then run the JS in there, which Safari also doesn't do.
