This would make it easier to look at something someone linked to at a later time, or peruse a linked site while staying on the ‘Bakery concurrently. I assume there's a reason links don't open new windows, but I don't know what it is.
(Shh, but don't tell anyone...)
javascript:eval(tmp...=50'));tmp.focus();

I don't know if there's a reason either, but there's a simple fix in the mean time:
Right click.
Left click "Open in New Window."
Done. Unless you use something other than windows, in which case I don't know. |
|
| |
In some browsers, you can middle-click, too. |
|
| |
I don't know what jutta's reasons are but I've stopped doing it too. Other than offering a greater choice my reason for stopping was that links that open a new window won't work in some cybercafés. |

re: halfbakery and time distortion. I'm reading this from the year 1872 and although we're au fait with the latest activeX technology, I'm unable to get my horseless hovercraft to work. |
|

The reason that links don't open new windows is that I don't like having to close them after I've used them, and I don't like having to fiddle with window management to position them; I also vaguely feel that opening new windows on my desktop without my explicit action is presumptuous of a site. What's it doing reaching out of its little box? Shoo! |
|
| |
As far as I can tell, this is simply a personal preference. If this site had a lot more per-person options, "links open new windows" might be one of them. |
|
| |
In sites where links _do_ open new windows, I find it irritating if these new windows are always the same (that is, the "target" parameter in the links has the same name.) What would you prefer, a different new window for each link, or the same window every time (which simply happens to be different from the halfbakery window)? |
|
| |
I prefer doing it myself. I am perfectly capable of opening my own windows, and find it vastly annoying when websites open windows on me. |
|
| |
Baked (see link). But not likely to be popular. |
|
| |
I had posted this idea (request) ages ago. Was similarly frowned upon. So I've gotten used to doing the right-click, "open in new window" routine. |
|
| |
Google allows this option (under Preferences). |
|
| |
Did this pop up to the top because an insane person made a link to nothing? |
|
| |
I was wondering why this popped back up too. That link works, if you allow Javascript pop-ups, and looks like it was added with the annotation a long time ago. The previous mechanism for ghost pop-ups was to add an annotation then delete it, but I thought that feature had been fixed. |
|
| |
Actually it is that second link that caused it, that person did the same thing on three different ideas. |
|
| |
I was referring to the second link. (5150 is a code used by some law enforcement agencies to indicate someone who is crazy, psychotic, off their rocker, nuts, or something like that) |

In Netscape go to Edit ==> Preferences ==> Navigator ==> Tabbed Browsing. |
|

Yeah... both of you still using it. |
