HTML/Javascript code to open pages in a new tab?

[Poprocks]

I was just wondering if there was some kind of HTML or Javascript code that could be used to cause hyperlinks to open in new tabs (on Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, etc.) and simply open in a new window in Internet Explorer, Dillo, etc.
I for one would like to see web developers step into the next generation of web browsing -- the tab.

Thanks in advance.

Well, you've got one little problem there. AFAIK, without using XUL (which non-Gecko browsers barf all over, and which might only WORK in Firefox), you can't tell a browser to open in a new TAB, just a new window (which it's up to the browser to interpret as a new tab).

Also, Dillo won't even touch JavaScript, so it'd have to be HTML.

No, you can't.

Add [tt]target[/tt] attitude into your HTML tag ([tt]A[/tt]).

tab browsing is still a new way of browsing, and I personally don't think it should become a common feature.

No, you can't.

In the Google Desktop Search, when you open a search result, it's opened in a new tab. but as you know, you never know who google does!!

I was looking for the exact same cod ebut couldnt find one then i saw this on google and here i am.. I noticed how to open a new window.. you use the target frame.. "target=_blank" so i thought i should try replacing "_blank" with "_newtab" just for kicks and see if it works and apperantly it does on most browsers.. i tried with ie7 and firefox and safari.. So ther you have it..

In HTML web programming language, to launch the new document (web pages) from links in a new window or tab effect is typically done through the use of target attributes on those links.

In this case, the link anchors will be using “_blankâ€
