Browser Widget Load in New Tab

Post by James Little » Sun Nov 15, 2015 3:12 am

I am pleased with the ease of use and the functionality of the browser widget in 8.0 dp 9. One challenge that I've been unable to solve is to navigate to a new url if the link opens in a new tab or a new window. I can handle messages like browserNavigateBegin and browserDocumentLoadComplete when the link opens in the same window but those messages don't seem to be sent if the clicked link is to open in a new tab or a new window. Also, browserDocumentLoadFailed and browserNavigateFailed do not seem to be sent. Any suggestions on how I can open these links in the browser widget. I'ld even be satisfied if I could open the link in the user's default browser outside of Livecode using launch url.
