Hi everyone!

I recently changed our RCP-application to use Mozilla with a specified XULRunner for all the Browsers in the application.

One effect we see now is, that links from a page, which have the

<a [...]  target="_blank />

attribute set, will not open unless I implement the OpenWindowListener.

Can you please confirm that the observation is true, that with Mozilla there is no automatic creation of a new browser window for such links like there is in IE for example?

Of course I found the examples of how to use OpenWindowListener in the faq like http:// dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/s rc/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet270.java?view=co, so how to use them is not a problem.

I was just wondering if I misseds some flag to be set, that Mozilla will open them automatically in a separate Mozilla-window too.

Thanks for any replies!

Yes, IE is the only native browser type that opens these windows for free.
In general, OpenWindowListener should be implemented if you want to handle
cases like target="_blank". The "event.required" in Snippet270 can be used
to tell whether a native browser will open a window like this for free or
not.
