Script Summary: All modern browsers work with tabs, so the user should decide wether opening links in a new tab or not.



Version: 0.1 alpha

Script homepage



Description

We should be able to decide if we want a link to open in a new tab or in a new window.
This script forces links to open in the same page when left clicked.

Works with

  • a HTML tag links with a target

Still doesn't work with

  • JavaScript links
  • Flash (can it even be done?)
  • Frame detection

Notes

Links in secure HTTPS pages won't be forced, they may have a good reason to open in a new window.
