>But just a thought, as soon as you click on the image (in IE) a new window opens, which has a different outlook the my existing IE window. I guess NC is expecting regular page to be opened. What I feel if possible, possible yes but only if practicle, is what if a new window is not opened and the same window opens the mag page, just like a normal link.

Well, my point is mostly to know why the same link elsewhere on the page works and that one doesn't work. It's the same link.
