Not to worry. Happens to all of us...

Hi,

target=_new or target=_blank do not work for me correctly in Netscape Navigator 4.8. The page appears, but it does not open in a new window. I have the same need (page in new window), but also require backwards compatability. (Using Milonic Version 5.52).

Yet, without Milonic, <a target=_blank href="[page URL]"></a> does open the page in a new window in NN 4.8

So what is the cross-browser safe Milonic solution?

Got a URL, Andy W?

I am getting a new window when I try LJC's AD CHAT link in NN4.79, however, it's opening a new window with nothing in it, while loading the linked page in the original window. Weird.

We're revising a portion of our web site so have nothing in the public domain we can show right now.

Here's what did not work properly in NN 4.8:

aI("title=Test current app as it looks to responders;text=Test App;url=[our URL];target=_blank;");

nor did this:

aI("title=Test current app as it looks to responders;text=Test App;url=[our URL];target=_new;");



Here's how we got around the problem.

aI("title=Test current app as it looks to responders;text=Test App;url=javascript:Open_Wide_Window('[our URL]');");

where we implemented the Open_Wide_Window JS function as follows:

function Open_Wide_Window(URLName) {
window.open(URLName,"help","height=500,width=650,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,resizable=yes,status=no,left=25,top=25,alwaysRaised=yes,scrollbars=yes")
}


Thanks. Would like to be able to use the target= command instead, but oh well.

I don't have a NS that old, but maybe Ruth can help out here. Don't see any problems with the code you posted.
