Was just wondering if the target="_blank" attribute can be added posts so links open in a new window rather than in the current one.
Presently a tags look like <a href="https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rf ... #sec19.5.1" class="postlink">the spec</a>
And work like the spec
I could edit the template if others agree ( + I know joe is super busy ) but I'm not sure if auto-backups would overwrite this behavior.
Let me know what you think,
Thanks
Should A tags get target="_blank" attribute ?

Re: Should A tags get target="_blank" attribute ?
Agreed that external links should be new tabs/windows. It seems a pretty standard practice to dissociate the sites. (Is there a better word than dissociate in this case?)

Not against it, either.

my browsers (vivaldi, maxthon) have options to: either drag-url to open in a new tab (bg tab or main tab) or a gesture to open in a bg tab.

I prefer not to have this. If I want a new tab, I'll ask for one.

This and this. Then again, I already have my browser set up to ignore the target="_blank" attribute, because of sites assuming they know what I want better than I do.lexikos wrote:I prefer not to have this. If I want a new tab, I'll ask for one.
Re: Should A tags get target="_blank" attribute ?
Very true, I have thought of it... didnt bother mentioning it. We are removing the option to choose.
Like I said, I middle click either way.. and there's no "un-middle" click if you know what I mean :p
