iwato Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 QUESTION ONE: Is it possible for the author of a webpage to dictate to the viewer whether a new page opens in a new tab or window?QUESTION TWO: Is there some way to detect how a viewer opens a hyperlinked page -- in new tab, the same tab, or a different window?BACKGROUND: I have designed my pages in a way that distinguishes between pages contained within the same domain and those that are not. As a result of this design, I want to be able to force my users to open hyperlinked pages that are not in my domain in either a new window or new tab. Within the industry new tabs are generally preferred over new windows.Roddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 No, and no. You can tell it to open in a new window, but you can't control whether the browser opens that as a new tab or an entirely new window, and after the fact you can't tell which it did.
