Summary Open links in the same window

It's possible to open links into new tabs or new windows, but it isn't possible to open links that should open in a new window in the same window. I thought it would be a nice enhancement. :)

this is one of the most frequently requested features on the safari forums: single window mode, with the option to allow resized popups. i tried patching this myself using: WindowProtoFuncOpen: in webcore/bindings/js/kjs_window.cpp FrameTree::find in webcore/page/FrameTree.cpp but couldn't get it quite right.

Can you please send me the code as to how to open the links in new window as window.open doesn't work in google chrome, IE , adobe air.. works only in firefox.. Actually it will be more helpful if I can open the links in the user default browser.

Sorry, I don't know how to do it. Dude, this report is two years old; things have changed. window.open has been used and abused to the point that it's now almost impossible to open a new browser window.

Is it Safari level or is it required now? I think we already have options to do / achieve this.
