I think it makes sense. Netscape says the _content target is the main
window, IE of course, disagrees. So when you click on a link, it creates a
window called _content - new window. But now _any_ click (in _any_ ticker

now exists. Maybe I should look into putting some browser specific code
there, but I'm not sure I know how to do that (yet)
