I want to make a page open a link in a new tab when the user clicks
it. Doing some browsing and experimentation , I found that this code:
<a href="myDocumen t.html"
target="new"
style="target-name: new; target-new:
tab;"my document </a>
works in Firefox 2 but not in IE 7.
Is there another way to do it that will work across at least these two
browsers? Or is it something that's not supported and that I would be
better off not trying? Thanks. 3  9029

Asked a million times, conservative estimate. Answer is No. You can
neither force a new tab or a new window. It is a user setting. Work in
*your* Firefox only because *your* Firefox is set to open new windows in
a new tab. My SeaMonkey can be set to open all new windows in my
existing window thus nullifying the action entirely...
Basically it is bad form to open a link in a new window or tab on a
user, let them make that decision: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9605.html

Really? Not sure I believe you. If you had, you would also learn about
not top posting in Usenet and trimming signatures, and lastly that new
window|tab is a browser user setting and that has been asked and
answered countless times here.

Hi,
I'm trying to use a keyboard event function to change what

Hi,
How do you make an element (e.g. <div>) to receive focus when pressing
TAB key? I understand that some elements such as <selectand <input>
by default will receive focus when the TAB key is pressed. Is there a
way to tweak a <divto get the same treatment?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
