"Open in new window" = using browser-native methods to execute the default action. There's nothing about the current Fiddle that won't work with the default action -- if your back-end understands it. > I tried to modify your example to take the real url with hash but that > didn't work. If you do this with a hash-style navigation, your back end needs to be changed to manage state with hashes, i.e. if a request comes in for #state, the back-end page needs to inspect 'state'. It's perfectly doable, but you'll never do it with client-only modifications. > I wonder if this could be done with a html5 solution. Yes, but it will never be backward-compatible. -- S.
