    url link with target="_blank" hangs in Internet Explorer 7 BUT works fine in IE6, FF, Safari?

      Okay, so I have a SWF embedded on a page, which has a link to a target="_blank" url, and it works in every other browser, INCLUDING the notorious ie6, but NOT in IE7?

       

      IE7 just opens a blank page (without the address in the address field) and displays 'connecting...' and stays there forever.

       

      • I even manually typed in the adress of the site I'm trying to access with the link, and the page opened just fine in IE7.

      But when I click on the link from the SWF, it hangs again and doesn't open. I manually typed in both addresses with and without the 'www' (i.e. http://somewebsite.com and http://www.somewebsite.com) and both opened in IE7.

      But the link from the SWF ONLY opens a blank page with the 'connecting...' and stays there forever.

       

      • I feel like it was working previously, but I could be wrong. Besides that, it is working in ie6, of all things. So I don't get it?

       

       

      • This also happens with other website that have a link with target="_blank" in IE7, so it's not only my site.

       

      As always any leads are greatly appreciated.

       

       

       

      Site with the SWF with the link with target="_blank":

      http://solarinkgraphics.com/web.htm          • clicking on the IMAGE or the "ENLARGE" link should take you to a target="blank" url

       

       

      Site it should go to:
