baldhippie Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 It would be really cool if I could give visitors to my site the option of opening links in a new window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSW Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 They already have the option, either right clicking and choosing new window or Tab... or middle clicking in tabbed browsers will open the link in a new tab usually. All you could do is force them to have a new window and that is not good. Never force things on the user. It is also an issue with those users with different disabilities. I like that you want to give them the option... but they already have it built into their browser. It is their job to learn to use the tools they have.

PicnicTutorials Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) You could do what I did on my site (see top left checkbox). http://www.visibilityinherit.com/tools.php that gives them a option or not. If memory serves me correct, I think I got that over at dynamic drive. Or if you just want to open a new window without all the bells and wisles, look under the JS section on that same page above.
