I'm using Laszlo 3.1.1 and my application has a <text> view which displays  
information.  The information comes from a secondary source which I don't  
control and sometimes contains HTML markup.  The text control does a  
pretty good job displaying it, but I've run into a minor annoyance for  
which I'm wondering if there is a simple workaround.  The problem occurs  
when the text contains <a> tags.  If the user clicks the link, the browser  
dutifully displays the specified link.  The problem is that the browser  
replaces my Laszlo application with the contents of the link.  If the user  
clicks the back button, my Laszlo app essentially reloads.  Not a great  
user experience.  Are there simple ways to prevent this?

I realize that I could specify a target on the link and have the content  
go to another window, but I don't control the content and I would have to  
preprocess the content, searching for <a> tags and modifying them  
accordingly.  What I would really like is to be able to configure the text  
control to use a default target of my choosing.  Of course the simplest  
solution would be if the back button just took the user back to my  
application.  Is there some way to get that to work?

Thanks!
