[thelist] Weird window targetting problem with javascript links

[Erik Mattheis]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this would be the
expected behavior because the new window contained content from a
different domain - so you can't target by name.

A solution would be:

1. Open a frameset document stored on your domain in the new window.
Make one of the frames invisible (100%,*).
2. Create a window opening function that first checks for the existence
of that window, and if it already exists, say something like
myWin.frames['paypalframe']. location = 'http*//paypal.com/'>,
otherwise open the frameset on your site.
