Opening in new tab instead of new window using IE 7.0
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.

Re: Opening in new tab instead of new window using IE 7.0
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.

Re: Opening in new tab instead of new window using IE 7.0
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....
