Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help out.
I am trying to find a BBcode that will open links in same window rather then a new one

Example: if you click now on this link (www.google.com) it will open it in a new Tab/window.

I want to open the link in the same window and in the same tab that contains the page with the link.

When I try to open the link then it opens in new tab—not in the same tab in the same window.

Sorry for the late reply, just seen this.

As far as i'm aware

It's not possible to do this in an embedded forum that you don't personally own as essentially what you are trying to do is convert

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">www.google.com</a>
to
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_self">www.google.com</a>

Which, I'm afraid, is not as simple as just changing <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_self"> into square bracket code as the two do not transfer seamlessly.

It is often forum defaults or even browser defaults that determine this state (unless manually tampered with)

A big however is that if you have access to the html, then this is a very simple procedure that I could definitely help you with.

My recommendation is to confirm this with someone who has a greater knowledge on this than myself before giving in.

Didn't see that this has been answered in a different subforum
