HTML: how to force links to open in a new tab, not new window [duplicate]

by

There is no way to do that as the author of the HTML that a browser renders. At least not yet that I know of. Its pretty much up to the browser and its settings / preferences that are set by users themselves.

Also, you shouldn’t impose this upon any user. A browser is the user’s property. If a user wants to open all links in tabs or in new windows, then let the user do exactly that.

It’s good that we can’t do certain things. target=_blank is still abused and popups have been done to death.
