Simple answer: NO _Blank opens in a new window
-----Original Message----- From: James Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 11:22 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Firefox Tabs Ok, aparenntly everyone is having a bad day and doesn't want to give me a simple answer. My users are not developers, geeks, or any other breed of user who know how to set up these things. It is all most of them can do to figure out the power button. Assume that 1) I can't be bothered configuring all the clients individually to open "_blank"'s as a new tab, expecially as most of the time "_blank" needs to open a new window. 2) Even with step by step instructions my users couldn't configure a piss up in a brewery. Question Is there any way, by target, JS, or any other means, of opening a link in a new tab in firefox. -- Jay > -----Original Message----- > From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 04 January 2005 16:13 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Firefox Tabs > > James Smith wrote: > > A user can always open a link in a new window with the > application of > > a right click, just like a firefox user can open a new tab with the > > right mouse button. > > > > However I have the ability to set target="_blank" on a link and the > > link will open in a new window > > Not in my browser :-) > > > > If the answer to the question is no just say so but don't > try to turn > > it into a control issue when it isn't. > > It is a control issue.
