This is beginning to seem very strange... My firefox browser follows all the things you laid out above on any other site. It has to be something to do with me being logged into that account. Logging out doesn't change it either... what happens is the first keystroke I do after arriving at the home page, causes me to be logged in again and then the links will not activate with It has to be something done with javascript to intercept the event of pressing and disabling or redirecting it. There are dozens of routines in javascript and AJAX that intercept keyboard and mouse events... and use them to display something helpful like a preview of the page the hyperlink leads to or that sort of thing. So I'm guessing its either being done purposely for some reason or is a side effect of some other javascript code. Thanks for the time and help.
