It appears to be fine in FF and IE6 (Win2k), but opens a new window in IE7 in XP and Vista.

Bloody IE inconsistency

Yes but, the links which are in the element of the map, which you dont exactly have control of the code over.. That is where they are defined to be doing what ever they do..

Why it works in firefox and not IE is anyones guess. : (
