Clicking Link Within a Frame Opens a Full Window (169449)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q169449 SYMPTOMS
When you click a link within a frame in Internet Explorer, the linked page
may open within a full window instead of another frame on the same page.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the link is inadvertently dragged during the
click action and a shortcut to that link is created. When the mouse button
is released, the page to which the link points is opened within a full
window.
MORE INFORMATION
Internet Explorer supports dragging a shortcut to an Internet page. Moving
the mouse a short distance while you click a link within a frame causes
Internet Explorer to interpret this action as a dragging operation, and
not a click. This results in a shortcut to the link being created. When
the mouse button is released, the page is opened within a full window.
