Paul,<br><br>Thanks. I forgot that a newer (I think) option in Firefox allows you to select that new windows requested by a page open in tabs. That's good enough for me, because I'm mainly interested in this for my own use. I want a page of my personal bookmarks which automatically sorts by frequency of use. I did this a while back using Javascript and cookies, and it worked well. However, a system which would allow me to just click and not have to CTRL + click or right-click then "open in new tab" would be welcome. I think I can do it in the way you mentioned.
<br><br>Also, I'm going to change it to something PHP based so I can use the same one for home and work, and have the same sorting. Not to mention not having to have a JavaScript array of URLs in my source. ;o)<br><br>Shawn

window.open() is the only way to do it. Whether this<br>opens a new browser window or a new tab is controlled by user<br>settings within Firefox. As I understand it, this evidences a very<br>conscious design philosophy common in the web standards community
