Link to open new Window/Tab but keep user on current webpage

Hi guys,

My first post here! Been searching the net for help but have had no luck!

I have a webpage with a link on it, standard a href tag with target="blank", which opens a new window/tab.
The problem is when the user clicks on the link they are taken straight away to the new window/tab. I don't want this to happen, I want the user to be able to click the link, the new window/tab opens but they stay on the webpage where the link is.

Hope that made sense. If not, let me know!

I look forward to your guys help Smile

Thanks

Colin

You can use something like Greybox which is a fullscreen pop-up.

That looks great and I may use that for other things but that doesn't work exactly how I would like.

The webpage the user would be on will be showing a Video so I don't want the link to open a page that will cover the video. I want them to be able to click the link and for it to open a new window/tab and they can still watch the remainder of the video.

I look forward to hearing from you guys!

Thanks

Colin
