Question

I'm developing a small web app using ASP.NET (VB). Does the Windows Mobile 6.1 browser support "new tab"? How about "new window"?

Here's the code I'm using:

<img src="image/specs.jpg"
     style="cursor: hand;"
     title="Define Serial Number"
     onclick="javascript: window.open('dialog_window.aspx?p=request_line_specs.aspx&appid=<%=AppId.Text%>&linenum=<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "LineNum")%>&apptype=<%=AppType.Text%>&itemcode=<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ItemCode")%>&t=Define Serials', 'scroll:no; status:no; address: no; dialogWidth: 700px; dialogHeight: 500px;')"
/>
Was it helpful?

Solution

The version of Internet Explorer that came with the Windows Mobile platforms does NOT support tab browsing.

Tab browsing came out around IE 8, and Widows Mobile includes a cut down version of ...IE6, I believe.

So, basically, tab browsing was not developed yet.

To my knowledge, the cut down version of IE in Windows Mobile will not support opening a link in a new window, either.

Hope this answers your question.
