I just tried this in Safari, and both window.open and target="_blank" both open in a new tab. There doesn't seem to be a way to override the browser preference here (and I consider that to be a good thing, BTW). What does seem to work to force a different window altogether is to set the window preferences in JavaScript to a defined size. Compare the second and the third links on this page. The second (like the first) opens a new tab. The third opens a little daughter window, separate from the main browser. I haven't fiddled with it that much to figure out what the least-common-denominator thing you can do to force the window, but you should be able to find a lot of references to this -- it's definitely old-school. http://scripty.walterdavisstudio.com/window.html You might also want to think about using a "lightwindow" or similar instead of a new window. New windows have lots of other UX issues. Walter > > On Mon, Dec 10, 2012 at 10:23 AM, Walter Lee Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > That's an implementation detail of your browser.
