Hi,
Aditya and I want to change all "external" targets to "_blank" but are unsure of the reason of "external" targets Could someone please confirm it's not an issue and maybe explain why we have "external" targets Thanks Jacques |

AFAIK "_blank" is the only acceptable target in HTML 5 because frames
are deprecated. The website is modern and built on an HTML 5 template. Hence every target should be "_blank" On Tue, Oct 3, 2017 at 9:42 AM, Jacques Le Roux <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi, > > Aditya and I want to change all "external" targets to "_blank" but are > unsure of the reason of "external" targets > > Could someone please confirm it's not an issue and maybe explain why we have > "external" targets > > Thanks > > Jacques > |

Hello,
I agree with Jacques and Aditya, we should set all external links with target="_blank". I have also mentioned the same on the JIRA ticket <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9665>. I think the intended use is rel="external", which was somehow written as target="external", refer: https://www.w3schools.com/Tags/att_a_rel.asp Hope this helps! Thanks & Regards, Devanshu Vyas.

Thanks Devanshu,

In reply to this post by Devanshu Vyas-2
Hi Devanshu,
I think target="external" is correct. https://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_open_link_in_new_window.cfm {info} Instead of calling your window _blank, you can give it a name of your choosing. Then all URLs will load in that same tab (as long as you use the same name). For example, if you have a policy of loading all external links in a separate tab, you could call that tab, say, external. Then each link that contains target="external" will open in that window/tab. Doing this ensures that new windows aren't going to be popping up every time a user clicks on a link. {info} Thanks & Regards -- Deepak Dixit www.hotwaxsystems.com www.hotwax.co On Tue, Oct 3, 2017 at 1:40 PM, Devanshu Vyas <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hello, > > I agree with Jacques and Aditya, we should set all external links with > target="_blank".

Ha thanks Deepak,
This is interesting (and surprising), so we should change ALL target="_blank" to target="external" rather for consistency sake If everybody agree I will do so Jacques Le 03/10/2017 à 10:18, Deepak Dixit a écrit : > Hi Devanshu, > > I think target="external" is correct. > > https://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_open_link_in_new_window.cfm > > {info} > Instead of calling your window _blank, you can give it a name of your > choosing.

Thanks Deepak, I looked for similar info, but was unable to find. And in
the meantime, got to know about the Rel attribute, so I thought the intended code was rel rather than target='external'. Now, with the new information at hand, I think target="_blank" or target="external" both are correct. All we need to decide is whether to open all links in separate tabs everytime link is clicked or just once. I think we should open all external links with target="external". WDYAS? Thanks & Regards, Devanshu Vyas.

Interesting. Thanks Deepak for sharing that.
+1 for having target="external" at all places as consistency is key to good user experience.
