External links? - MasonJar - 12-16-2008
Is it possible to have external links open a new window/tab by default, rather than navigating away from "Big Blue"?
Thanks,
Andrew

I usually "Ctrl + Click" in firefox to open threads/external links in new tabs.
Also, you can't specify "open in new tab" at the html level, only in a new window. So if you're like me and prefer tabs, you'll be ctrl+clicking anyway.

In Vista and also perhaps xp you have to right click on the link for either open in new tab or new window.

Thanks Shaun for the info, i too was wondering how to get away from navigating away from the gauge when clicking links lol :mrgreen:

Thanks guys for the browser specific tips!
I was just wondering if there's a way for them to automatically be parsed to open a new window, rather than (lazy) me having to remember to "Ctrl-click".
Mind like a steel sieve, doncha know...
