| You would need to post this to the IE newsgroup, as it is not a FP related issue.

| It is a setting in IE7, Tools->Internet Options - General Tab - Tabs
Settings button
You (as a web page author) have no control over it - I hope, since I want
control over my browser.

*************************************************************
Actally, this would be a programming issue. The OP is
looking for code
to put on her webpage to open a link in a 'new tab' as
opposed to opening
in a 'new window'.
The answer to her question is there currently is no code to
do this. Tabbed browsing is
a relatively new feature, and I don't think that the
programming has yet to add support
for this.
Most knowledgeable users who do have tabbed browsing that
want this to occur have
their browsers setup to open 'new window' requests in tabs.
Maybe the developers of all these new toys could work with
the consortium to add
functionality for this in newer versions of the browsers.
One issue with this is that the latest standards for HTML do
not recognize the target
attribute of a link, so the 'target="_blank"' is actually
invalid code for 4.01 Strict

| True, but the IE newsgroup would know if there is code available to select a tab in IE7 from a web
page.
