hi jonathan,

thanks for your quick response.
1) what do you mean with "where is this form"? where in the body of the
html file?
2) as I see firefox everywhere installed on my friends machines and as
the target attribute is such a basic feature, I still hope to find a
solution on that.

telling the user "sorry, not with your browser" is IMHO unacceptable for
a simple target option.

@all: maybe there is a special CSS tag or javascript for firefox to take
ONLY the popup as the form target... any idea? :)

cheers
oliver
