Workaround for Netscape SVG window.open and window.location update problems.

Thank You Andre!  You are very kind to respond and I'm very Pleased.

Your workaround solved my problem with not only window.open, 
but also with updating the location of an existing window.

I think you've shown:

    From svg/javascript event handlers (Netscape only), when trying to create a new window
    with a specific URL, or trying to update a URL or "location", you must use setTimeout()
    for it to work.

Thanks again!
