The short answer - I can't prevent stupid browser behaviour so in this case
I don't bother trying. The mainstream modern browsers (and many
well-designed older ones, as well) do not have a problem.

As was mentioned before, the problems do not exist in every browser. I don't
remember the results of my tests anymore, but old Netscape browsers were the
primary culprit in this bit of browser programming stupidity. (What flawed
logic justified preventing me from viewing source of a post-created page?)
