Safari - link tracking doesn't work when target=_self; investigate a workaround #2930

Open robocoder opened 12 years ago

Reference: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54783

This is now only a "Safari sucks" issue. #2929 actually fixes this issue on Chrome, so Chrome sucketh less.

(In [5834]) refs #2930 - how long has this typo been here? not the fix though

This trick works for Safari (!http://www.gwotricks.com/test/2009/07/tracking-outbound-links-right-way.html) but we can't use it because the assumption is that the default action is expected to be followed. Unfortunately, we don't know what other click handlers are doing.
