Links in a new window
Good morning all!
Is it possible to open links in postings in a new window? And if it is - where can I do this?
Greetings

Hello
Is it possible to open links in postings in a new window? And if it is - where can I do this?
The HTML sources of the forum uses the doctype XHTML 1.0 strict. There is no possibility to open a link in a new window by attribute "target" (it's inexisting).
If you want to use "target", you have to change the doctype to XHTML 1.0 transitional and you should search all the code fragments wich generates the links to the postings to set the attribute "target" into the links.
If you speak german language, search the german forum for version 1 with "strict target". There we had this discussion several times.

About the attribute is true, but if you change the fragment target=”_blank” in the link with onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;" onkeypress="window.open(this.href); return false;" it passes the validation

You shouldn't create webpages for a validator, but for people. Switch off JavaScript in your browser and wait.

In these times it is virtually impossible to visit internet pages (including this forum) without javascript enabled. So, why still bother for those dinosaur users who still don't use javascript?

Hi Otto!

This forum (and the old version 1.x) works wonderfully without JavaScript (and even without CSS - which is nice for screenreaders). OK, in v2 of course there's no Ajax-preview, BBCode, link and image-insertion, etc, but the basic functionality is still available.
Especially 'in these times' in big companies JavaScript is deactivated by net-admins on client machines according to firm's safety policy (according to my logs about 5-10% of visitors are using the forum without JavaScript). If you rely on JavaScript you are forcing Users to wait until they are at there home-PC to answer.

It's up to you; I just pointed out some reasons why it may not be desirable...

Hi all,
thanx for your answers. I think I have to live with the fact that it isn't possible for me to open links in new windows. I will manage it.

Okay, I didn't know that, but if someone is willing to drop functionality, then I assume he will also have no problem with links not opening in new windows
Anyway, he can still press the right mouse button on a link and then select "Open in new window" or "Open in new tab" (Seamonkey)...

Or just press the middle mouse button (if any) to open in a new tab.
