Opening in new tab instead of new window using IE 7.0

[Bill Evers]

I want a link to open in a new tab if someone is using IE 7.0 instead of
opening a new instance of IE. Neither the Target or Name choices seem to
allow for that in the Link box. Is there a way to create a custom name for
this or am I just missing something?

Thanks,

bill

I think that is more of a personal thing that you set in IE7, and I do not
know of anything that will do that.

Micah is correct. The best you can do is Link > target=_blank. Personal
user settings will dictate whether this is a new window or a new tab.

Micah and Nancy,

Thanks to both of you. Basically then, people just have to learn to right
click the link and choose open in a new tab instead of a new window. I just
thought since you can designate a new window (blank) in NOF and in HTML that
maybe there would be a way to indicate a new tab instead since all the major
browsers now use tabs.

I appreciate the feedback!

and apparently to validate as XHTML Strict - you have to use something
like this. Why this is so is beyond me.
<a href="http://some_oother_site.com"
onclick="window.open(this.href,'_blank');return false;">Some Other Site</a>

In Firefox, the default behavior for left click is to open in a new tab -
not a new window. I think IE7 is the same - at least it is under Vista. Of
course a person can change that....
