While using the site, I found a few places where it would make it significantly easier to use by making more things into links.
Here's the list of places that need to be linked.
- The item watch list
- The full listing pages for the Best and Worst Performing Items lists. They're clickable, but they act as buttons instead of links, so I can't open them in new tabs.
- Item search results. Like the previous example, they links act as buttons, keeping me from opening them in new tabs.
Thanks for looking at this issue and I apologize for disturbing you if this was already being dealt with.
I agree with Mark Gyver, I use the middle click a lot. All the places mentioned I have noticed I couldn't do anything but never thought about bringing it up.
I also think this will making things a lot easier.
I messaged Absenm about opening pages in tabs a few days ago. He said he would look into it.
I have an idea of how to do that. Maybe I'll work on that tonight.
I modified just the Runedex pages with a new icon that allows opening in a new tab in Google Chrome... you can right click in IE. Not yet sure about other browsers yet. Looking into this whole open tab thing. The links you are talking about are inside DIVs and therefore don't fall under the normal right click rules... hence the need for a special hyper linked icon.
If this is an acceptable solution I'll do it site wide. The watch list is being put in the new design so I won't mess around with updating the old page. Maybe I can get that done tonight.
I don't mind the way you have the runedexs setup right now with the open in new tab but I think that it would be better to not have it got to the right away if there was a way to do that... That way I could open up multiple tabs before checking on them.
Hummm... I don't quite follow?
Like if you click the link you provided, it will automatically make that tab the current view. I enjoy opening new tabs because it will just put them up there until I have opened all the tabs I want to. Then I go and check on those tabs... but maybe its just me, I tend to be the odd one out lol
The open in new tab functionality is pretty tricky. There is nothing dealing with it that I could find concerning HTML and CSS built into those standards. I've looked in to it pretty closely and there is no definitive way to make things open in new tabs by default in a particular way. Some browsers such as Chrome open automatically in a new tab. Browsers like IE open a whole new window unless you right click. It's a pain, but I'll continue to look into ways to get this to work. However, maybe someone out there knows how to do exactly what you are looking for and I would love to get feedback explaining how that is done.
