Hi

can we restrict the option to open a page(link) in 'new tab' or 'new window' from all browsers using code.

Why do you hate your users so much you want to take that control away from them?

I am trying to find a way for that. Is there a way?

Unless you've written the browser yourself then you won't be able to do this in Java.

Thanks.... Is there any alternative way.

No idea, this is a Java forum.
Possibly something in Javascript?

if we click 'new tab', we should b alert with a message .can v develop this using java.

ok thanks.

You're not confusing Java with Javascript are you?

no, not confusing. i am trying to do that n java by any means.

Maybe you can use

Code:

---

function fofo()
{

}
<a onClick=(fofo())>hello</a>

---

But it is not Java API anyway :P

Exactly, at least as a software developer. I can imagine situations where a sysadmin would want to lock down a machine (a kiosk situation, for instance) but I don't want to encourage developers to write user-hostile software. I'd sure be annoyed if, for instance, I went to a web site that insisted on opening pages in new windows instead of tabs.

Then using what/ If you don't mind you can share it here with us. But not in much details, because this forums related with Java technologies. :)

Mainly what I've believe is that your software should be more independent from the system, I mean the PC. If your software going to be more system dependent, then the value you can build on the product is very less amount.

It was in Java Script.

Java and JS are totally two different technologies. Don't mess-up with them

If you've solve the problem, please mark the thread solved.
