I'm observing issue with linked images not displaying in either Firefox
1.5b2 or IE6 when running on Win XP (they display fine in either browser
on W2k).

Example problem HTML is:

<a href="largepict.html" title="Blah" alt="Blah" target="_new">
<img src="images/smallpict.jpg" /></a>

For the image to display in either browser on XP I have to use the
following HTML:

<a href="largepict.html" title="Blah" alt="Blah" target="_new"></a>
<img src="images/smallpict.jpg" />

Needless to say the image is no longer linked to higher quaility image on
webpage.

What am I doing wrong. Is the target="_new" entry casuing the conflict.

I did find I can do the following:

<a href="bigphoto.jpg" title="Blah" alt="Blah" target="_new">
<img src="images/filename.jpg" /></a>

No problems here. Opens a browser window displaying the jpeg photo. But I
wish to open a html page in the browser window.

BTW no URL as this is not on a public server.

Thanks for any ideas.
