Links - Open in New Window
Jun 19 2008, 8:18 AM EDT | Post edited: Jun 19 2008, 8:18 AM EDT
I would like to have the option (if it is not there and I am just missing it) to add "Open Link in New Window" to force external links to open in a new window (ie: <a href="url" target="_blank">URL Text</a> ) 5  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

If I can't open a page in a new window, how do I place a PDF document inside wetpaint for the end user to view. Do you find this valuable?

You could upload it as an attachment.

That's disappointing. It creates a real usability issue...

External links automatically open in a new window. Most users have also gained the knowledge of the magic of right-clicking a link. 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

Can't count on users to right click!! Web design and functionality is not the users concern. I need the main page in Wetpaint to stay open regardless of which links users choose to follow because 98 out of 100 times users will want to refer back to original page.

I agree with other posts - "Bummer," this "creates a real usability issue!"

Disappointing, I would see this option as a minimum requirement.
