the tabbed browser is old enough to vote and yet people are still making websites where you can't mid-click navigational elements to open them in new tabs
@robcee@foone That is not simply a wrong answer, it's a wilfully obtuse misunderstanding of the question. (Hint: do you carry a bluetooth mouse around for your phone? Second hint: it's the sort of stupid that makes me block people on social media in disgust.)
@foone If I had a dollar for every time I have to click a link normally instead of middle clicking and then middle-click the back button in my browser to reopen the previous page I was just forced to leave in a new tab, I could afford to eat out every day.
@foone The first tabbed browser I used was provided by GNN back in probably 1995/96. It had tabs along the bottom like Excel and IIRC it opened new tabs for all links by default so it was more like a visual history stack. I remember liking it a lot.
@foone everytime I see someone do links right I get very excited. But as a developer, I will say I have sometimes been unable to implement this on a few rare occasions because I was screwed over either by the designer or the project lead.
@foone I work for/on a project and it drives me absolutely nuts that I can't click-tab the several areas I work in daily... They're slowly implementing friggin' keyboard-nav before they're implementing multi-tabs and I'm like hmm....
What you can do isduplicatethe tab but that sometimes messes with session stuff and causes bad things.
It keep state on the server, and page your're on contains an index that increases whenever you perform an operation. That means that you can open a new tab, but once you try to do anything in the new tab you get an error message saying that your state is corrupt and you gte sent back to the main menu.
What's even worse is that the original page is no also out of sync so that one gets sent back to the main menu too.
Let me finish off by quoting Oracle in their description of this fine product:
"Oracle's PeopleSoft applications are designed to address the most complex business requirements. They provide comprehensive business and industry solutions, enabling organizations to increase productivity, accelerate business performance, and provide a lower cost of ownership."
