Hi all,

Is there a way to disable Safari (1.1 in Panther) from opening links that have a target='_blank'? I would like to be able to disable the target so that the link opens in the same window.


I have looked through the prefrences but could not find anything relevant.

Many thanks in advance,
nmk

I very much doubt what you are asking for. because _blank is basic html and you cannot turn of html.

Mozilla and Firebird have been able to do this for quite some time now.

So it is possible but I guess Safari does not allow that much customization.

I thought the Mozilla solution required a plug-in.
Anyway, here's two workarounds in Safari:

1. Turn on tabs, and command-click (or middle-click) to open the link in a new tab.
It's not the same window, obviously, but it opens in the background, out of the way.

2. Make sure 'always show tab bar' is on in the prefs.
Drag-and-drop the link onto the tab that you're currently in. It will replace the current contents of the tab.

Dragging the link into the current URL field also works if you don't have tabs on.
