I was wondering if there was a target= command I could use with mozilla to open a link in a new tab, but in other browsers just open a new window...
ie
instead of <a target="_blank" href="blah blah.....
<a target="_tab" href="blah blah... or something.
Even though I have the options in mozilla to open links into a new tab, it dosnt always hold. I have new windows pop up on some links, and its kind-of annoying because I've become used to tabbed browsing. |

Unfortunately there are no such attributes in html. It might be possible with javascript, but that is just a guess.
I use an extension which opens a link in a new tab instead of a new window. The extension is called Tabbrowser Preferences 1.x. |

| As far as I know, and I have looked around (not extensively though) you can't do this via code. Maybe in the future. |

| It's part of the personal settings in Mozilla (or FireFox) to open links in new tabs isn't it? So a target="_blank" would open in a new tab in Mozilla if you have it set up to do so. |

This only works when using links from external applications (link in an instant message, desktop link, whatnot) - you have to download the plug-in in order to have links with target="_blank" to open in a new tab instead of a new window.
Unless I'm mistaken. |

| I think it's just part of the preferences, same with most of the other tab capable browsers you can tell them to open new windows or new tabs when clicking links. |

CSS3 wiil introduce this capability with a new target attribute for anchor tags. Just running out the door to work, so I don't have time to track down a link for ye, but a search of the W3C's site should turn it up.
