Hi Robin,
I am a member of a couple of other forums. On those when I click on a website link within a post, it opens a new IE window. I have therefore got used to closing the new window to find myself back on the respective forum.
However, clicking a link on here takes me to the webpage but within the original IE window. Guess who can't help themselves from closing the window when finished
Any setting you can change to make links open a new window (I am a very slow learner) ?
Thanks
Ian

Well after fixing some bugs I found along the way, I came to actually putting the code in to do this and found it already works...
Could you confirm it in your browser please?
Test external link:
http://www.google.co.uk
Test internal link:
index.php
For me, the external link, Google, opens up in a new tab. And the internal link, index.php opens in the same tab, as it should do.
Thanks,
Patrick

Nope - Google Chrome v.19 (latest) still opens both those links in the same Window, and so does IE9

Must just be a Firefox thing...Oh well, I've put in the javascript, so it should now work for all browsers that support it - pretty much all of them.
Happy clicking!

I am using IE8 and it has now opened the external link ^^^^ in a new window, not a tab (but that is what I am used to).
The internal link ^^^^ opened in the same tab, so I will have to get used to the back-button !
Thanks
