Hey everyone;

I'm sorry if this is particularly amateurish, but I have begun work on my ninth site, and I just wondered- is there any way to disable the Open In New Window option?

Thank you for your time.

You could probably try to disable right click but this makes the site look very tacky, it also breaks basic assessibility.

Stopping me from opening something in a new window draws exactly the same comments, plus I have on more than one occasion decided not to buy products from a site which attempted to stop me browsing in the way I wanted. It's not being childish, its simply that I needed to have multiple pages open at once, if I couldnt do that easily then I might as well not bother buying from them since its so much hassle!

You're right, I could disable right click, but it annoys me to when people revert to this, and it's better to allow for more accessability than to not. Disabling the option to open a new window is not essential, it was just relative to the presentation of a few pages.

Thanks for replying,
