Hey Gonzo, I have opened this page you have provided in 3 different browsers. 1. FF, 2. Safari, 3. Chrome (all on the pc). In each instance the links work exactly the way I set them up to in the settings.
Maybe I answered too soon and did not know what exactly it is that you are trying to do. I had thought that you wanted to open a page link in a new tab (if the browser supports tabs) rather than a new browser window. This just isn't possible to do on your end of the code. IF you have a confined area of users who are at the whim of your requirements, you can instruct them, or go to each computer yourself, and set up the settings to match your needs. But that assumes a lot about your environment. IF you had meant that you wanted to know how to open a new window/tab instead of just loading the new page in the same window/tab that your user already has open, then there are several ways to do this. 1. use the parameter 'target' with the value '_blank'. (<a href='link' target='_blank'>link</a> 2. user the javascript window.open() command (you should google it if you don't know of it already) I hope this post was little more helpful to you than my last one was.

Notice that there is another link at the bottom of the page, marked Credits... it opens in the same tab. The Innovation URL is contained in an iframe and the target is _blank and it opens in a tab. The Credits URL is of course a classic URL which opens in the same window/tab. But there is more to this... _blank always opens in a new window when I write it... can't figure out how to make this tabbed behavior happen and I've been goggling for most of the day reading and trying various approaches.
