Hi Kristof, my knowledge of JS is limited but how would you handle this situation: in your web app, you want to provide a keyboard shortcut for opening current item into a new tab. You need to invoke this action from JavaScript so setting CSS to some DOM element is not enough (AFAIK). I think window.open() would need some new optional parameter or something similar to support this.

No particular support within JS is required.

In my eyes, it makes the _tab scenario quite valid. But, as mentioned by Adrian Sutton, there would be technical problems with older browsers so this proposal has to be scrapped. On the HTML/CSS level, this will be eventually handled by the 'target-new' property (which will be more flexible than target="_tab" as well) and I hope it will find its way into JavaScript too, eventually. P.S. Sorry for not maintaining the thread sequence correctly, I couldn't figure out how to do that (that's why I used the forum instead of the mailing list in the first place :) --- Borek __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
