Opening other URI's (e.g. as a result of >code triggered by the loading of the page) is not considered to be >an "explicit user request". s/If the use selects a link/If the user activates a link/ User should be able to select or focus the link without activating it. [but don't ask me for precise definitions. I do think that 'select' here invites misunderstanding.] Compare with onChange problems in list boxes while arrowing around. Al PS: I wasn't in on the discussion, but without having heard that discussion I wouldn't be totally sure it's cool for a page the user requests by activating a link to open in a new window when the user didn't know in advance that it would.
