Created attachment 165156 [details] Testcase Clicking "Click me" in the attached testcase should alert "PASS" because the base target is the subframe. But instead it seems to alert "FAIL" in WebKit. Presto and Gecko get this right.

AFAICT, this is not even some kind of cross-origin protection, but just a bug. I haven't heard of "base target" before though.

We don't implement base@target for JavaScript URLs correctly. There's already a bug on file with a bunch of related test cases. It's a consequence of how we handle JavaScript URLs, which is to special case them early in the navigation pipeline. Gecko handles them in a general case near the end of the resource loading pipeline.
