Hi >- shift-click stuff shouldn't break things >(probably doesn't do what the user wants either, but...)
Exactly that is also my problem. Oky not mine but also a customer of mine wants the shift click. Statement: Shift click does the same as click but opens in new window" Problem: I have some functionality that changes a area you could name display-area. The customer now argues that he expects the display-area in a new window. Any Ideas how to solve this? It seems that shift-clicking is not interceptable so that I can hook in my functionality to do something near useful Fabian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Fuchs Sent: Dienstag, 15.

Anyway, the accepted "normal" solution to this is: <a href="#" onclick="blablabla(); return false">bla</a> This makes sure: - page will validate, as "#" is a valid URL - link doesn't do anything (expect for jumping to the top of the page) when Javascript isn't active - shift-click stuff shouldn't break things (probably doesn't do what the user wants either, but...) - "return false" makes sure the browser won't follow the link after your JS stuff has run -Thomas Am 15.08.2006 um 17:23 schrieb Sam: > > There's a lot of old-solutions to this problem lingering on Google, > so it's difficult for me to determine if there's a more modern > solution to this problem.
