Description Becheru Petru-Ioan 2005-03-31 16:57:11 UTC 
Version:           3.3.2 (using KDE 3.3.2,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-1-k7

if u have in a tab a webpage that uses frames (let's say http://zvonsully.home.ro)
and in another tab a frame of that site ( http://zvonsully.home.ro/menu.html ) ,if u click a link in the second tab that has a target atribute (all the links in http://zvonsully.home.ro/menu.html have a target atribute set to "main"),konqueror will modifie the first tab to render the link that u clicked.
(
in my example if u click on a link in the http://zvonsully.home.ro/menu.html page ,the http://zvonsully.home.ro tab will be modified so it renders that link on the "main" <frame>
)

This is the expected behabior as HTML4 spec says:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/links.html#h-12.1

(it happens also to Firefox 3), because:

The page has 3 frames (with names)

----top------
menu --main--

the links in the menu frame (or page) points to main, therefore the browser  finds an already opened window (or frame) with that name (from the same domain!), and it is in another tab, then the other tab is updated.
