I found out over the weekend that there were problems with the plugin when users put javascript: type links in the code. I think also that named anchors might have had a problem in IE6. I put lots of “if” clauses in and now the javascript only works for http: type links where the host name is not found in the link. I am worried that the javascript is now way too complicated and is subject to even more odd breaks.
I got a “broken” vote on the page and a bad vote in the ratings from someone who did not like this and probably tested with IE6. I used to have a setup where I could test with older versions of IE, but it broke when IE7 came out and I don’t use it anymore. I will do a search to see if there is some way to test with IE6.
I am discouraged by this and if I get any more negative feedback I will remove the plugin from the wordpress repository.
