In IE6, I'm taken to a new site/page, with prompts that an ActiveX
component is trying to execute. I said No.

In IE6, I am at the same page. Stuck on that page. No way back. I have
the choice of closing the browser, or picking something else from my
bookmarks, or going to .. google.com?
In Firefox, I am back at the openlink.org page as expected.
In Opera, I am back at the openlink.org page as expected.

Only to illustrate the bad (proprietary) design.
So what is the point? The first site doesn't open the second in a new
window; it's even worse (but only in IE).
I'm sure we could all post dozens/hundreds/millions of badly designed
sites...
