Default Re: [Project Camelot Portal] Tabbed browsing

I suppose these are set to force a new window if you are operating in a tabless setting, but at least some browsers allow to redirect these to new tabs. Since you cannot count on this behaviour, you always try to open tabs manually once you are used to it, as you never know beforehand whether a link goes to a new window or not.

But clearly, the portal is designed from a no-tabs-perspektive, which I find curious, as I'd imagine someone with the experience to do such a otherwise well-done website to be used to tabbed browsing, too.


I took a glance on the code and found, for example, this:

Code:
<a href="#" class="leftbarlinks" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('http://projectcamelotproductions.com/whistelblower-radio-hp.html','','')">WHISTLEBLOWER RADIO</a>
If they'd just automatically copy the given url into where the "#" is, it would alleviate the issue without removing the JavaScript functionality.
