Question

When a user clicks on a link

<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com" target="_blank">click</a>

is there a way to stay on the current window instead of going to the tab ?

Answer 1

There isn’t a way to currently control this.

If you want to remove the existing behaviour:

Is there a way to stay on the current window instead of going to the tab [when the link has target="_blank"] ?

Only if you do something like this first…

$('a[target="_blank"]').removeAttr('target');
