Location: Lenexa, KS                Seems somewhat simple, but how do I force 
the browser to open a URL in a new page?  ShowURL puts it in the same window.

I thought this was not possible. as your pushing to open new tab, maybe chrome 
has this feature. 

ive seen links like: "newtab:http://mysite.com"; in my addressbar (chrome). 
Dont know if it works but currently you can only use links like 
<a href="http://mysite.com"; target="_blank">http://mysite.com</a>

And javascript doesnt support this eighter, with exception of google chrome 
(with google gears you can).

You can have a WebLink open in a new page by setting the Target property to 
"New Window", but that only works if the user clicks on the link.

The WebPage.Show method has a parameter to open the page in a new window.  It 
doesn't seem to work for me, but if it did then you could put the ShowURL in 
the new page.

Code:Page2.Show(True)

// In Page2.Shown event
ShowURL("http://www.apple.com";)
Seems like a bug.

ageold one, its not gonna work ask thom...
There is no browser that accepts the site to say "hi open this link in a new 
tab" 

If you can set the keys (keyboard) by javascript to open new tab, then you can 
do it... (or contextmenu in browser).
It seems like this is not gonna happen in this year... sorry.. Its based on the 
clients browser settings for opening new "tabs" or in new "window"

Location: Greater Hartford Area, CT                Swort, you are right that we 
cannot say "new window" vs "new tab" but we can say "new something". Basically, 
we get to tell the browser that we want to URL in a new view, but what that 
view is will be up to the browser.

So with that in mind, I think a feature request for ShowURL to gain an 
InNewWindow parameter would be appropriate. I think I've seen one in Feedback 
before, but I can't check from my iPad.
