Strange window popup with Anchor widget in 1.6.4

[Clive Cox]

With 1.6.4 on linux in Hosted mode, if I have something like:

Anchor anchor = new Anchor("some text");
anchor.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler()
{
public void onClick(ClickEvent event)
{
//do something
}
});

I get a new blank browser window popup and and several warnings in the
hosted mode console like:

[WARN] Confirmation was required to visit untrusted URL:
'jar:resource:///chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/console.xul

Any ideas what's going on?

The click handler seems to still get fired.

The anchor widget is just a regular <a href=""> tag so if you use that
constructor, clicking on it will open a new browser window. To get an
anchor that doesn't do that use the constructor
http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/1.6/com/google/gwt/user/client/ui/Anchor.html#Anchor(java.lang.String,%20boolean,%20java.lang.String)
with "#" as the href.

Thanks Salvador, this seems to have worked.
What is confusing is the constructor I used has in the javadoc:
"Creates an anchor for scripting. The anchor's href is set to
javascript:, based on the expectation that listeners will be added to
the anchor."
This seems to imply what I was trying to do, but maybe href set to
"javascript:" doesn't work. Is this a bug?
