Right. I'm trying to work out what I need to do to control the output of a frame so that it opens in a new window when (and only when) you ctrl+click a hyperlink.
What a life. Yep, it's another rip-roaring day in the world of technical authoring and cascading style sheets and javascript. You know, it might not even be a CSS problem, it might be much more deeply entrenched in the way our windows talk to the browser and the deep, twisted code that makes that look so easy.
Frustratingly, I can make it work in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox.
While I mull over that conundrum, the sales guys who are doing some sort of corporate training event today, just brought a whole load of sandwiches out of the training room.
As ever, a roomful of meerkats popped their heads above their partitions and sniffed the air.
"You can finish these off if you want," said someone from marketing.
Fifty chairs rolled backwards and the air rippled past me as the engineers thumped towards the sandwiches in a converging cloud of t-shirts.
This can't do our image any good, I thought - the Upstairs People need no excuse to look on us like we're ducks on the riverbank.
The Internet tells me it's because I'm trying to open a frame inside a tripane frame. A particular forum also tells me that Louise, who used to work here, asked the exact same question over a year ago.
I might not be able to crack it today. I feel like it might be time for a bit of a break. Tell you what I really need...
a sandwich.
