| Issue 5794: | Links in official Google info windows do not open in new tabs/windows | |
| 3 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
Up until recently Google always seemed fairly respectful of users' maps and whenever they wanted to provide a link out they would always open that link in a new tab/window. With the release of the visual refresh this mindset seems to have somewhat evaporated or perhaps [hopefully] this is just a bug.
Here is a screenshot of the info windows I am referring to: [see attached]
The "more info" link to the Google+ page opens in a new tab/window which is nice however the royalalbertamuseum.ca link does not.
The only real fix is some kind of interval to automatically look for new links in the Google Map and fix the issue. Such as:
setInterval(function() {
$("div.gm-website a").attr("target","_blank"); //using jQuery for brevity
},100);

Are there any plans to fix this bug? Is there anything further I can do to help it along?

This should have been fixed in the experimental version. Can you please give that a try and see if that works for you? Thanks.

Thanks just did a quick sanity check on my local dev machine and seems to be working. |
