IE8 a href for local files opens new window despite target=“_Self”

My set of files are all on a local server, not http. If I use:\[code\] <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15670449/somefile.htm" target="_Self">click here</a>\[/code\]it opens the file in a new window. _Top is also ignored, and I get a new window. I can get around it by using window.open() but for various reasons we need to avoid javascript.I'm interested to know why the a href target is ignored.
