gproctor Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Is there a way I can modify the way suggest.php is opened so I can have it open in a new window so a user will not lose their text if they hit their back button?e.g. A visitor starts to send in a suggestion, and has another website open where they are getting the source for their suggestion. They want to hit the back button to check the source, but when they do (currently) the suggest window closes and they lose all that they have already typed in. When they return, they have to satrt over. I think opening the suggest.php in a new window would allow rhem to minimize window and revisit the source site?Any suggestions?TIAJoeP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fixed by adding "target="_blank" Also gave instructions as Tom above advised about using Right Click. Both work fine.JoeP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
