I was just wondering if there was some kind of HTML or Javascript code that could be used to cause hyperlinks to open in new tabs (on Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, etc.) and simply open in a new window in Internet Explorer, Dillo, etc.
I for one would like to see web developers step into the next generation of web browsing -- the tab.

Thanks in advance.

From memory, Windows is a 32-bit hack on a 16-bit GUI, written for an 8-bit OS that originally ran on a PC with a 4-bit system bus, made by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

Windows: Stop complaining about it; stop using it.

Well, you've got one little problem there. AFAIK, without using XUL (which non-Gecko browsers barf all over, and which might only WORK in Firefox), you can't tell a browser to open in a new TAB, just a new window (which it's up to the browser to interpret as a new tab).

Also, Dillo won't even touch JavaScript, so it'd have to be HTML.

Don't be surprised by my UA flipping from Opera 7.5x Linux or Win, Netscape Communicator 4.8 Linux, Dillo 0.8.0, Mosaic 2.7b5 Linux, or Firefox 0.9 Win.

I was looking for the exact same cod ebut couldnt find one then i saw this on google and here i am.. I noticed how to open a new window.. you use the target frame.. "target=_blank" so i thought i should try replacing "_blank" with "_newtab" just for kicks and see if it works and apperantly it does on most browsers.. i tried with ie7 and firefox and safari.. So ther you have it..

In HTML web programming language, to launch the new document (web pages) from links in a new window or tab effect is typically done through the use of target attributes on those links.

In this case, the link anchors will be using “_blank” as the value of the “target” attribute. “_blank” tells the web browser to open the new document loaded from the link in a new window. “target” attribute is also used in websites with frame structure to tell the web browser which frame the target page of a link should open when click. However, “_blank” does not require the use of any frames. You can read any html tutorials.The syntax or HTML code is typically as below:

<a href=”newwindow.html” target=”_blank”>New Window</a>
