If the base target were [something like "pm_display"] instead of "_new", then users of fullpage chat would get the same behaviour as now

No, it wouldn't. If pm_planet was used for target, the first followed link will open a new window as if _new had been used, but the second followed would overwrite the window opened by the first link (if it's still open) instead of opening a new window.

For example, if you click on each of the following without closing newly opened windows, you'll end up with 3 windows instead of the desired 4.
<a href="?node_id=67275" target="_new"> (jZed's home node)
<a href="?node_id=381608" target="_new"> (my home node)
<a href="?node_id=67275" target="pm_display">
<a href="?node_id=381608" target="pm_display">

I *hate* windows overwritting each other. I've lost much this way.

Update: By the way, _new is non-standard. _blank is the standard target to specify that "the user agent should load the designated document in a new, unnamed window."

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
