stop "about:blank" from opening a new window.

How do I stop the href = "about:blank" from opening a new browser ?
We have several HP systems that when I call the above code works fine
and the right window becomes blank and I can write to it.

But, I have one brand new dell that opens a new window with every
call.

I know there is probably some reason for this behavior, but is there
a
setting to prevent it or test for it ?

Thanks

Sid.

assing Location.href of another frame so that I can write to it.

I followed your link out to the MSDN and found the article:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms534622.aspx
This article describes the behavior, but does not show me how to
prevent it.
Can I test the property: RightWindow.SECURITY in my code ? to try to
predict the behavior ?
Maybe do something else.

Thanks

Eli.

Let me restate my question:
I am writing a webpage that will run on other machines that I may or
may not know about.

Can my script test for the security setting on another frame, to see
if the security is 'restricted' no matter where the security was set,
either in the declaration of the frame or the security tab of IE ?

Thanks

Eli.
