Mo, thanks for reporting back.

I am also using a Mac and see the same behavior. It is
my understanding
that the captive portal browser window does not have an address bar by
design.
Adding a target attribute to the "Go to internet" button can trigger
peoplesopen.net to be open in a normal (default) browser window instead
of the chromless captive portal window opened by the os.
Perhaps the "Go to internet" button would open
peoplesopen.net in the
users default browser and then close itself.
What do you guys think?
