Anyone else got an opinion? FWIW, at least Opera does not return an error if you include such an about: URL within <a href="...">...</a> which seems to indicate that the address bar is special cased for one reason or another. Given that the address bar is a UI feature, I'm not sure I'd consider it a bug if it does not work there. (I have not checked other browsers though.) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
