Thanks for your help Carlos,
I suspected that it could be some sort of pop windows so now I'm trying
elevating the IE8 Pop-up Blocking Level to the maximum but the problem
persists, some links do not work some times, my problem is that a pop-up is
supposed to open in a "separate" window or in a new tab, right? But instead
when the long URL appears there is no way to return to the previous page or
navigate to the correct and intended link.
Another strange behavior is that even if all Pop-ups are allowed when
clicking the problematic link there are no pop-up windows open up.
Could be this related to any other IE8 setting, like the Tabs setting or
other?
Thanks Again,
Tom
