_blank always opening in the same new tab

Hi there,

I am curios if there is a workaround this issue. If you have an ad, let's say, that for any click it's set to use "_blank", every subsequent click will change page in only one new opened tab. There aren't more tabs created. Just one new tab created and then address is changed in the same tab.

I also tried using ExternalInterface.call("window.open") and even this one still opens in the same new tab. If I do windows.open from javascript it opens new tabs continuously.

If any one knows a way around this, please let me know!

Thank you,

Vlad

Thank you mate, but solved it!

I was working on code from some previous guys. I didn't know there's a string hardcoded to replace the target. It wasn't blank. It was "_companynamead". If you put any random string except the valid one you will get this behaviour apparently.

i don't see that.  every click opens a new tab in firefox with fp 11.

test other browsers to see if this is a browser issue.
