Target links broken in Safari 3.1
We are using html frames when displaying a Living Reviews article along with its table of contents. After a recent Safari update the links in the table of contents open a new window instead of changing the article page. It turns out that the problems was created by a small javascript snipplet used to obfuscate email addresses. It uses (and sets) a variable ``name'', which accidentally has the meaning of the frame name too. Changing the name breaks the target links. See http://users.livingreviews.org/~wobsta/target_link/ for a small example.
The problem can be fixed by using a different name for the variable as we will do it for the Living Review articles.
