target="_replace" doesn't work as expected when there are two (or more) such links

[GoogleCodeExporter]

On a page with content that looks similar to this:

<ul>
  <li><a href="page1" target="_replace">First Page</a></li>
  <li><a href="page2" target="_replace">Second Page</a></li>
</ul>

Clicking on the "First Page" will get the contents of page1 but the content
is placed _after_ <li><a href="page2" target="_replace">Second Page</a></li>.

The contents should be placed before the "Second Page" link.

I tried this patch and it worked fine for my case.

That works for me, too.  Thanks for the patch!

Nice one, works.
This is really a bug if you go by the documentation on the blog.
