WSS 3.0 – Open Link in New Window or Tab

A short one this time. It seems though that a lot of people using SharePoint Services are not aware of this though and it is actually quite easy.

Even though it is not an option in any of the forms, you can have links from the quick-launch or from the Links list and Web-Part open in a new browser window or Tab.

The trick is that in the URL Field, you have to add a little piece of JavaScript. here is an example:

If you’d like a link to http://www.Microsoft.com open in a new window or tab, write the following in the URL field:

javascript:void window.open("http://www.microsoft.com")
