Ie 7 Tabs

[manjitsarma]

My website requires that users don’t open my website url in multiple tabs. Opening the url in new window is allowed.

My question is, is there a way in javascript or otherwise to prevent users from opening the same url in multiple tabs?

Yes there is JavaScript that opens a new window but doesn't open the page in a new tab. The JavaScript "window.ope n()" method will do this for you.

If you set your hyperlinks to "target=_bl ank" used to open the page in a new window, but now they open in new tabs.

So to open a page in a new window you need to apply the window.open JavaScript method to your button or hyperlink for the JavaScript "onclick" event...

[code=vbnet]
MyButton.Attrib utes.Add("oncli ck", "Javascript:win dow.open(""" + "MyPage.asp x""" + ",""" + "NameForOpenWin dow""" + ", """ + "toolbar=no,men ubar=no,width=8 50,height=400,r esizable=yes,sc rollbars=yes""" + "); return false;")
[/code]
Please note that I added a "return false" after the window.open() method. This prevents postback from occurring.

What is the difference whether its opened in a new windows or in a new tab?

Sometimes you don't notice a page being opened in a new tab..

Or when you have a help page being opened for the aspx page the user's viewing, you want the help to be in a new window so that you can see both it and the aspx page at the same time....
