javascript. Can't open new tab in safari

browser-tab, safari, tabs

Solution

It turns out it's a browser preference, which can be edited under `Edit -> Preferences -> Tabs` and select the `Automatically` option in the drop-down menu `Open pages in tabs instead of windows`.

Problem

The following javascript opens a new tab fine in Firefox, chrome, and IE. but it opens a new window in safari. ``` javascript:window.open(url,'_blank'); // opens new window in safari. ``` I need to open a new tab NOT a new window in safari. anyone else seeing this behavior? fixes? I can't seem to find any recent posts that address this... maybe it's just me. -Thanks. Using safari 5.1.7 on windows.
