How to open url in the current window instead of a new window in XUL?

Question

I'd like xul window to load pages in current window instead of new window 在当前窗口而不是新窗口中加载页面

I have 3 files in the same directory,
main.xul

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin" type="text/css"?>

<window xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
        xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">

<browser type="content" src="page_a.html" width="100%" height="100%" />

</window>

page_a.html

<html>
<body>
<a href="page_b.html" 
     target="_blank" >I'm page a, click to navigate to page_b.html</a>
</body>
</html>

page_b.html

<html>
<body>
<a href="page_a.html"
     target="_blank" >I'm page b, click to navigate to page_a.html</a>
</body>
</html>

When i run the xul using xulrunner and click the link, the whole
window disappear
but i want to load the target page "page_b.html" in current window,
I tried both <browser> and <iframe> approach, neither of them work.
the window disappears as long as it tries to open a new window to load target webpage.
If I replace target="_blank" to target="_self" , the code runs successfully.
but the matter is what if i load a remote page that contains target="_blank" and is not written by me, for example http://www.google.com/ ?

So how to load pages in current window despite the attribute of <a> element? 在当前窗口中加载页面？

Thanks.

You'll need to implement nsIBrowserDOMWindow and set it to the window .

In your openURI implementation, you'd then call .loadURIWithFlags on your <browser> (compare with the linked implementation from browser.js ).
