Question How to make Kunena links open in new IE8 tab

ahh you posted to quick feature was remove and now only work on firefox it used to be this

<a href=”newwindow.html” target=”_tab”>New tab</a> or <a href=”newwindow.html” target=”_newtab”>New tab</a> depended on version of IE what one it was.

Nice people !

It's simple when someone posts a link I want to code it target=_blank

Anyone that can tell me where to code this would be helpful

If you can't help don't reply

I just noticed my post subject was changed ??

It was How to make Kunena links open in new tab

Not How to make Kunena links open in new IE8 tab

Strange

Yes, I changed the subject to make it relevant to the problem. The problem only occurs with Internet Explorer. Hyperlinks in Kunena messages open in new tabs in Firefox. How they behave differently in different browsers is a different question. Hence the topic change.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer is a mystery known only to its developers. IE implements the recommendations of the W3C in its own mysterious and unique way.

Tabs are a feature of browsers. Each browser developer uses the <a ... target="XXX"> it its own way, too. Vive la différance ... or caveat emptor (whichever you prefer).

The short answer is that neither I nor Cerberus know the answer to your question. If someone has a direct line to Redmond, Washington, maybe they can help. :S

The location of where the anchor tags are defined is ../components/com_kunena/lib/kunena.link.class.php. I've been down this path before and I hit a dead end. If you solve this issue please let us (and Microsoft) know. Good luck.

Thanks for clearing that up with our the smarts

I don't use IE but google chrome dose the same

All the best

Unfortunately target _tab and _newtab do not exist in xhtml. And target has been removed from xhtml 1.1.

If someone provides a good solution or can point me a good documentation what will use in all major browsers, please do so.
