I allow the user to store a domain in local storage (e.g. http://192.168.1.104). My method of pulling the domain out of local storage is like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
  domain = localStorage['domain'];
  function DOMAIN(dive) {
    window.location=domain+dive;
  }
</script>

and I can open it like this:

<a href="javascript:DOMAIN('/');">CLICK HERE</a>

or

<a href="#" onClick="javascript:DOMAIN('/');">CLICK HERE</a>

but I can’t seem to get it to allow opening in a new tab (chrome v13). It’s driving me nuts, any suggestions?

    Okay, I figured it out, but it’s a little hacky and restless. Make a dummy html document, say /html/home.html for instance. Call the js-function inside the dummy doc:

    <html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
  <title>Ripping Status</title>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    domain = localStorage['domain'] || '';
    function init() {
      window.location=domain+'/';
      document.getElementById( 'box' );             
    };
  </script>
</head>
<body onload="init();">
  <div id="box"></div>
</body>
</html>

    where ‘domain’ is stored as, say, http://192.168.1.101. Now, call /html/home.html inside the main html document via

    <a href="/html/home.html">CLICK HERE</a>

    and it allows right click > open new tab, window, etc as you would expect.
