I have the bizarre problem. When I click on a link in IE7 the window minimizes. It seems to only be a subset of the links on the page. It also doesn't consistently happen with the same link and differs from computer to computer.
example link text:
<a hidefocus="on" href="#" tabindex="1"><span unselectable="on" id="extdd-102">Canadian Legislation</span></a>
Anyone seen this before or have any idea what might be causing it?
IE is buggy, so you can troubleshoot by removing "tabindex". If that doesn't work try removing "unelectable" then "hideonfocus". "Hideonfocus" sounds weird. Try removing that first. Do you have any third party programs or plugins that interact with IE? Does it work on a different computer?
Finally figured it out. It was actually the JavaScript that responded to the click that caused the problem. Part of the javascript was calling ActiveElement.blur on the current active element (so that and events tied to blur fired when the elements were destroyed).
Problem is in IE, if you call blur on anything that isn't an INPUT, it minimizes the window.
