[ale] target="_blank"

[Terry Bailey]

I found that target="_blank" does bring up a new tab in Firefox, but 
only a window in IE.

My problem is that I have a page counter on abc.html.  There is a 
link on abc.html that points to def.html which is on the same 
server.  On def.html there is a link to xyz.html that points to a 
page on another server.  When someone finally gets back to abc.html 
from xyz.htm through def.html, I do not want the counter on abc.html 
to increment.  With Firefox, that is what happens, but not with IE.

I agree that new windows can be vexing, but in this case, I think it 
makes things easier.

Is there a way to modify the html so that the counter will not update using IE?

Thanks,
