external link in same tab/window

[Rustem]

I can make an external link open in the same tab using <a> element. But is there a native TW syntax to make an external link open in the same tab?

Hi,

Mario, my question is how to open one in the same tab where my TW is. External links open in a new tab by default, because of this line in extlink.js:

target: {type: "string", value: "_blank"}

I suspect there is no way, but maybe I missed it…

Your example, BTW, produces a strange result - an empty tab.

That's exactly what my link does (the fixed one). At least with my browser settings.

Which browser do you use? Do you use any addOn, extension, that changes default browser behaviour for external links clicks?

I'm wrong, you are right. ... I'm using an addOn myself, that changes the browser behaviour. But I mainly use it because of its session backup features. So I forgot about the click behaviour change :)

I'm using FF with "Tab Mix Plus" addOn. ... This may be an option, for you too, if you use FF

You may want to check out Session Manager instead. For everything else tab-related, I use keyconfig. Keyconfig is the reason I am with FF all the way. No other browser for me.
