Hey spaghet, I see that you give ut a lot of great advice to posters, thats
really cool, keep doin' what your do!!
But why do you sat its annoying to most visitors. I just plan to use it on
this links page (directory page) where I want to kep the page active while
vistors see what the links have to offer without crossing out my site.
Because I really want people to keep my site active on there browsers.
What do you think?
Check out the links EightNineThree posted. Basically opening links in a new
window is something the *user* should have control over. It's very simple,
they hold down control or something or do a mouse-gesture (Opera) and boom,
it's opened in a new window.
But if you do it for them, it gets annoying because it fills their desktop
up with clutter really fast, breaks the back button....
The target="_blank" thing is being removed from newer versions of HTML...
Visitors will come back to your site if it provides good content and a
reason to go back. They *won't* go back if they feel it does annoying things
and clutters up their screen.
Almost all porn sites do the "open all links in a new window" thing... that
should say something about why you shouldn't do it.
