Yeah, this is a lot of fun.
The other one is "JavaScript links". You know, where the "link" isn't
actually a hyperlink, it executes some JavaScript, which then tells the
browser to change URL. And because it's scripted, you can't Ctrl+click
to open the URL in a new window. (Or if you do, the existing window
changes URL anyway, so you *still* don't have the original page. At
least you can usually use the browser history to go back a page though.)
And then there's the links which pop up a "window" over the current
page. You know the kind - the whole page goes grey and a funky little
box appears over the top of it, and you can't do anything with the rest
of the page until you dismiss the box. (Modal dialogs suck for a reason!)
Lots of shopping sites like to take you to a completely different page
as soon as you've bought something, which also tends to thwart any
attempt to used tabbed browsing to nagivate around. You've got a page of
items, but as soon as you buy one, the page goes away. Great. Now I have
to somehow navigate back to where I just was...
