Trust my rage

So I just made a link over in Natter. When I click on it, it takes my current window to that new site. Sometimes i click on a link here and it opens a new window, which I like. How do I make it open a new window?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You need to add the parameter 'target="_blank"' to the link tag, i.e.,

<a href="http://www.buffistas.org" target="_blank">buffistas.org</a>

would look like this, buffistas.org , and open a new window.

Thanks, DX. I'll save that for future use.

Ooh, me too! Thanks, DX.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If someone makes a link like that, is there any way to force it to open in the current window? I know that, on a regular link, you can right-click and click "open in new window" to get it to do that, but is there a way to make one of those not open a new window?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

is there a way to make one of those not open a new window?

Not that I know of offhand, but that kind of thing is very browser-dependent. Opening in a new tab is usually about the best you can hope for.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

You could right-click, choose "copy link location" (or your browser's equivilent), and then paste the link into the current window's address bar.

It ain't pretty, but it works.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Uhm. Yeah! That "completely new tag-closing" thing is coming up soon! As soon as ... Wait. What thing was that? I did the Tidy deal. Do I owe more?
