Well, the 'target' specifies a *named* window. It's not simply a new window. It will not be any new window if you don't close it the first time it opens. It will keep on updating that 'diffwindow'. It may be comfortable for a screen that displays both the main page and the diffwindow page at once. That's why I understand it should be configurable, not enforced. As an answer to Stephan... then, maybe we could make it an option, and make other [diff] links (like in the info page) use it too, no? _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
