When we migrated from 7.7 to 8.0.09 all of our 'new window' HTML IE11 functionality (targetname="_blank") changed from an actual new window to a new tab. The users were initially thrilled because they no longer had multiple windows, but now in a new project they are specifically requesting a new window. In Tasks & Animations I have specified Target type 'Window' and Target/Template Name 'New Window' which results in targetname="_blank". Result=new tab. Is there a solution for this in 8.0.09 AppStudio HTML editor, HTML source modification or will I need to figure out some Java magic? Changes to IE11 settings for our statewide installation would not be an option. Thanks!

In ie there's a setting for that. I saw this information about ie:

1. Click Start, type the following command in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER:

inetcpl.cpl

2. The Internet Options dialog box will appear.

3. Click on the ‘Settings’ for ‘Change how webpages are displayed in tabs’.

quote:

inetcpl.cpl

Thanks for the info for myself and a few select users, but our installation will not change there base IE configuration for thousands of PC's.

Well, in principle we're talking of HTML standards '_blank' is 'new', but the way a browser handles it 'new window' vs. 'new tab' is set in the browser's options and can only be changed by the user.

IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera etc. used to default tab/window differently on the call.

So, if you are going to do IE-specific coding there to force a link open in a new window, you could do it with js, but I'd suggest looking into some css stylesheet gimmicks as then you only have one place to do the changes in & when the next update of IE destroys your system then you only need to fix that one css again.

Hank, LOL! I feel ya brother! We'll leave it a tab and let the users mess with their IE settings if they wish. Closing.....
