Master of Reality / Bob: is there any way to open up a new tab in Mozilla and/or konqueror from a web page?

Yes (using Mozilla 1.1a), first go to Edit | Preferences | Navigator | Tabbed Browsing | and check all options.

Restart Mozilla and try holding [Ctrl] while clicking on a link or entering a web-address...

Post by: Master of Reality on 20 August 2002, 00:55: i meant using html or java. I want to be able to.. say open a users link in a new tab (just like <A href=http://www.bobhub.tk target="_BLANK"> would open a new window)

Post by: Refalm on 25 August 2002, 00:48: Such thing doesn't excist... (open Mozilla Composer, press Ctrl+L, click on "Advanced edit", select "Target". If such a thing excisted, you would think Mozilla supported their own tag, but such tag doesn't excist).

You can try contacting Mozilla.org about it, because
Code: [Select]
would be very kewl indeed...

Post by: Master of Reality on 25 August 2002, 06:03: same with the new konqueror, it supports tabs.

Post by: Master of Reality on 25 August 2002, 10:10: i hate opera and its damn gay tabs. (the opera tabs fondly each other at night when your not looking).
Mozila tabs kick ass. Opera pisses me off.

Post by: Calum on 25 August 2002, 16:18: opera wins, but mozilla is nearly as good (and of course i prefer mozilla purely because it is GNU and opera isn't).

re: opening in a new tab, i think it would solve the problem if you could set your mozilla locally to open new tabs instead of new windows, but you can't. which sucks. Plus with that setup, you could not be sure that the reader of your site had it set that way, but who cares? if they didn't have it set that way then it would be because they preferred to have a new window open up instead of a new tab.

i hope there does not become a new tab opening tag since it would only add to the wrong unsupported html that netscape and Microsoft love so much.

Post by: choasforages on 25 August 2002, 22:03: it should become a normal standerd, and microsoft doesn't support it. netscape, opera, mozilla, and konqueror would support it.

Post by: Calum on 25 August 2002, 22:41: it would be nice if it became a normal standard but as a rule i am against any markup entering common use unless it goes through the w3c. havoc ensues if people just do their own useless nonconformist html, as history will attest.

1) Shut the fuck up.
2) Your crappy IE browser doesn't even have tabs.
3) Lucky for you, Microsoft FrontPage supports
Code: [Select]
or you wouldn't even know what it meanth.

Yeah... like Microsoft did with the bgsound tag... they just release some tags of their own, while the embed tag is much better than bgsound.

Post by: Gooseberry Clock on 26 August 2002, 00:42: 1. Only if you do. (equal rights)
2. It's called NetCaptor (http://www.netcaptor.com/). Observe. (http://members.lycos.co.uk/redrangersoftware/netcaptor.png)
3. How did YOU learn about it then?
4. You didn't answer my original question: doesn't _blank already open a new tab in Mozilla?

Prepare to lose coolness points.

Post by: Refalm on 26 August 2002, 01:29: NetCaptor looks too much like Internet Explorer and has an add to buy NetCaptor Pro. Mozilla doesn't make a difference between basic and pro and you certainly don't have to buy a decent browser.

I learned HTML by looking into the source of webpages at first, and at a later stage, I downloaded the W3C HTML guide which I've learned a lot from.

And no, target="_blank" doesn't open a new tab in Mozilla. You can use your middle mouse button for that.

Post by: Gooseberry Clock on 26 August 2002, 02:29: NetCaptor IS Internet Explorer. The ad: it's a small price to pay. There used to be actual ads there until he switched from adware to shareware. The newest adware version is 6.5.0 Beta 8, which I'll upload if anyone asks for it.

And to open a new tab in NetCaptor: right-click -> Open in New Window
