Hi there qim,

my word, you are a long way from home. ;)

"The problem only happens in Opera."

Sorry, but I have no idea why Opera has this problem
and therefore am unable to think of a solution.

Perhaps the Opera forums...

[forums.opera.com...]

...maybe be able to throw some light on it.

Isn't this a Preference setting in most browsers? Exact wording will vary, but it's always something about going, or not going, to the newly opened page, or bringing or not bringing the latest tab to the foreground. It's possible Opera's defaults are different-- and it's also possible you use all those other browsers and have simply forgotten that you changed your own prefs. (This is a recurring problem for me when testing behavior in various browsers. I simply can't remember if suchandsuch is the browser's default behavior, or something I told it to do.)

You're talking about the current (webkit) Opera, right? There used to be even more Opera-specific behaviors when they used their own rendering engine.

Hi Lucy

You're probably right and I will ivestigate. I found a manual way round and now it became a hobby/puzzle to get the code for it even knowing that it will not be much use. But i will sleep better..

I found that If I right clicj on the map and select "open link in new window" it does exactly what I ant,

So, the question now is how to code so that when someone left-clicks the code emulates a right-click with the correct option?

Does "target = '_blank'" not work in Opera?

"Does "target = '_blank'" not work in Opera?"

Yes, it does, but the new window, in the case of the popup, appears UNDER the popup. Try it with the link I left above.

At the moment the link is coded with target="_blank"
