Hi all,

I understand that you cant disable a back button, but i do know I could open a new window, closing the window that instigated it.

The following code does open a new window, but i want it to open a new tab. Also, its not closing the window that instigated it

Can anybody see my error?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function goNewWin() {

window.open("php.php",'TheNewpop','toolbar=1,location=1,directories=1,status=1,menubar=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');

self.close()

}

</SCRIPT>

<A HREF="javascript:goNewWin()">Click to go to a new page</A>

As far as I know this is an aspect that has not yet been addressed by the W3C.

TMBK, Javascript's window.open() has no knowledge of tabs and interpretation of the command is up to browsers (and their settings on individual computers).
