The Problem:
All browser windows close when I click on a link that opens up a new window. It does this randomly. Sometimes with the 2nd new opened window, sometimes with the 15th new opened window, sometimes it doesn't crash at all.

In-Depth Details:
I have an ASP page that I'm coding that has been running into an issue. It incorporates some very simple SQL, HTML code, and a few small JavaScript snippets. The page pulls from a database and displays the information in table format. One of these items (a column in the table) consists of a link to an HTML file on the server. The link simply opens up in a new window when you click on it. But, every now and then when I click on the link it seems to be shutting down all open browser windows.

Solution:

I've tried different solutions. Tried using just "target=_blank", tried using a script for the link, tried shutting down all programs running in the background, tried installing/re-installing latest java software, and various other things. It works on my wifes laptop, but not on my desktop. I'm assuming it's a software issue and not a coding issue.

Cheats? Hints? Walk-throughs? Please advise.

Is the problem consistant across different browsers?

I haven't tried Firefox... this is happening mostly on IE ... I will try Firefox next and report back.

Keep in mind that this happens only on this page that I'm designing. Other websites I've browsed to don't seem to produce this effect. So, it must be an issue with my code along with the specific computers. I'm thinking some sort of XP hotfix or java bugs.

Report back:

This doesn't happen on Firefox. I'm thinking it's an IE thing. But, my users will be using IE so I'll keep working on it to see what's wrong.
