Hello, New here

I was wondering if with HTML if anyone know if there has been a way made yet to open windows in a new tab. I know the target=blank or target=new works for a new window but it would be nice if you could open a new tab instead of a whole new window.

Anyone figure this out yet? I googled it but could not find any answers.

Thanks

It would be useless to submit a tab insert instead of window as not all browsers have tab option.

There is not any HTML code that will make a link open in a new tab. Many browsers do not have tabs at all. Sorry. I've been searching around for this answer myself, and I have never found a solution. Maybe some day it will exist...

That's up to the user. Some can pick the "open new windows in tabs" option in Firefox for example, then target="_blank" links will open in new tabs for them. Most of the time they can just click the middle button to open in a new tab.

This isn't something you can control, it's up to the users if they want it open in a new tab or new window.

Interesting question.

Heres what google says:

Pulling the good stuff out of the links MMJ posted, w3 states:

If a user wanted to have new windows open in new tabs instead, she could use the following user style sheet to do so:

* { target-new: tab ! important }

The above code is CSS3. I'd test it for you but I do not have a test case readily available.

And all I searched was the thread title. Go figure.

I am horrible at finding thing on search engine!


I did a test at http://www.momsbreak.com/tab.html with <a target="tab" href="http://www.momsbreak.com">Go
Home</a> and it works on foxfire and netscape which worked great. However IE opens in a new window.

I will do some reading on the link google search to see if I can figure this out.

Thanks
