    Open in new window

    Okay, we are trying to open the referenced page in a new window. When we use 'target' in the anchor tag set to either _new or _blank the referenced page will be opened in the other instance of the browser. In other words, if you go to this page, and then open a new browser window, and then click on this link, you will not get a third window. The new page will be loaded in the second window.

    We want you to get a brand new window.

    Any ideas? We are trying to avoid a JavaScript solution, but realize that may be the only way. If so, we'll fight with the cross-browser issues next.

    This works for me:

    Code:
    <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">Yahoo</a>
    Are you testing with IE? Because I believe there is a "re-use window" setting somewhere that might be the culprit.

    Yeah, I'm testing with IE 5 right now. I see the option you are talking about. Well... wonder if there is a way to override that.

    I hope not. I don't believe in overriding the users preferences. I don't believe in setting bookmarks for the user, or launching ad windows. It makes accessibility options a ***** to work out if a web page launches two or three little ads.

    Anyway, thanks, Josh. That is likely the problem.
