Absolutely terrific. I used it several times and it worked like a charm.

Excellent. I beat my head on my keyboard for weeks trying to accomplish something like this (using stylesheets and display:none) and was never quite happy with the result (and it didn't work in Navigator). Rewriting the page with script is not quite as neat - but results count!

One small problem - if you right-click on a link and choose "open in new window" from IE 5.5, it does open the new window, but then it hangs. This is not good, but I'm not at all sure how to deal with it - obviously it can't really open a new window for "javascript:history.go(0)"

For now, I'm just hoping my users never try to open the link in a new window :-)
