|   |  Faq-O-Matic Faq-O-Matic :  Administrators' Guide :  Suggestions : Have HTTP references launch a new window | 
| I would like to see the ability to make http references launch a new window so I could keep my existing faq answer on screen. I have a subcategory full of different technical contacts and frequently list websites and the login/password to get inside them. Of course when you click on the http reference you lose the page with the login/password info. If would be nicer for my lazy self if I could  specify in the http://somesite.com syntax to open a new target. | |

# this is my hack to launch a new window
#
#           $result = "<a href=\"$target\" target=\"_blank\">$label</a>";
        $result = "<a href=\"$target\">$label</a>";
This allows me to launch a new window on an http link. There are probably better solutions but like I said, this is a hack that will do the job. | |
