Because of your "return false" on the onclick...

You should use one of these combinations:
href="#" onclick="window.open(..."
OR
href="javascript:window.open(..."

I tried both of this combination but still not working on firefox and i think the problem has to do with javascript:void(0); !!!

Hi Stravos,

I used this code to correct the href's when the FriendlyHref came with javascript:window.open. Maybe you can get something to work with.

<a>
<xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="substring(@FriendlyHref,1,10)='javascript'">
      <xsl:attribute name="href">#</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:attribute name="onClick"><xsl:value-of select="@FriendlyHref" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="@FriendlyHref" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:otherwise>
</xslchoose>
</a>

Best Regards,
Nuno

Stavros - your problem is the "return false" after your window.open....
