An ordinary VB developer shares his own successes and failures
VBInfoZine 'new browser window' policy
After countless hours of thinking which hyperlinks to open in a new browser window and which should remain in the current window, I've finally got it! That is, you are the boss, so you decide.
As a result, I've revamped the site and deleted almost all the evil target = "_blank" attributes. Now when
you want a link to open in a new window, then you have to
click the link while holding the SHIFT key (or right click the link and choose
the Open in New Window command).
The links that do open in a new browser window are clearly tagged as [opens in a new window].
I hope you'll appreciate the consistency.
Enjoy!
