Opening links inside a page not working

Post by HEdwar2025 »

Hello!

We are running the latest version of Public Web Browser v3 and have ran into a small issue that I can't seem to track down (which it will likely be super-simple).

We use PWB for our online catalog within our library system and at the top we have links embedded that the patron can tap on to go to if they choose. Normally, if a patron visits our catalog from their home computer or otherwise and click one of those links, it will direct them to said website, however within PWB it doesn't. The link simply does nothing. (Pic for reference)

1) What are some of the settings in the INI file that would prevent a new window from opening when they tap on a new link?
2) Is it possible to have the new link open within another PWB window and follow the same timeout restrictions, etc. that have already been established in the .INI file for the main window?

We are having great success with sharing the .INI file from a central server location and wanted to tweak it a bit more via this fashion if possible.

Thanks for all the suggestions ahead of time and please be gentle :D

1. The most likely setting in your INI file preventing new windows is one of the following.

[Browser]
DisableNewWindow=TRUE
DisableNewTab=TRUE

Make sure these are set to FALSE.

2. Yes, any new PWB window will take on the same characteristics as the main window.
