target in ie7+

[goldenscarecrow]

<base target="_blank">will open in new WINDOW in internet explorer.
IE 7 & 8 use tabbed browsing.
how would i replace _blank for a new TAB?
{of course, i understand that i would need to do a browser check to do that. 1 step at a time}.

There is no way to force a page to open in a tab instead of a new window. That depends on the user's settings, and you can not (nor you should be allowed to) bypass the user's will.
