Homepage: Open links to documentation and forum in separate tabs

Post by amiga23 »

Currently when clicking a link to documentation or the forum, it is opened in a new tab. When clicking another link, it will be opened in the same tab. For me this is very annoying.
Use-case: When I do program in Hollywood, I need the documentation to Hollywood itself and additionally to each plugin I use (e.g. RapaGUI). And sometimes I do also need the forum.
It would be great if all links could open a separate tab instead of using only one.

The reason is, that in the HTML code target="_new" is used. It should be target="_blank".
"_blank" means "open in new tab".
"_new" is not a keyword but is interpreted as a name, This means open a tab named "_new" if it does not exist or replace the content of a tab named "_new" if it already exists.

_blank IS used, and in order to open in same tab _self must be used

@plouf _blank is not used, _new is used which is wrong, please check the html code:

Code: Select all

<li>Hollywood 10.0 documentation (<a href="docs/html/hollywood" target="_new">html</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="docs/pdf/hollywood.pdf" target="_new">pdf</a>)</li>
<li>Hollywood SDK 10.0 documentation (<a href="docs/html/sdk" target="_new">html</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="docs/pdf/sdk.pdf" target="_new">pdf</a>)</li>
<li>Hollywood Designer 6.0 documentation (<a href="docs/html/designer" target="_new">html</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="docs/pdf/designer.pdf" target="_new">pdf</a>)</li>
