The fact that they also behave this way when you click directly,
as opposed to sending an AppleEvent, tells me that this is a more
general browser issue rather than a Mac-specific or a Python-specific
thing.  I think there's a problem with your fragment syntax, but i
can't tell anything further without seeing your HTML file.  Can you
provide the URL so we can look at it?
