Hi,

I am using text rendered as html in a text field. The text is loaded in from php. If the text contains a \_blank targetted link and it is clicked then ie and firefox will block the \_blank window as a popup. This doesn’t happen with the getUrl function but this is cannot be placed in free text, can it?

Is there way round this as I am just trying to do a normal link, not a popup.

thanks

ash
