Lad dokumenter åbne i et nyt vindue
Pdf’er, Word-dokumenter, PowerPoint-præsentationer og lignende bør åbne i et nyt browservindue.
Ellers vil mange brugere opleve besvær med at komme tilbage til websitet, når de er færdige med dokumentet. Ofte kommer man til at lukke browseren helt ned, når man vil væk fra eksempelvis en pdf.

Citater
”In user testing, we often observe the following behavior: When people are finished using PDF files, Word memos, PowerPoint slides, Excel spreadsheets, and similar documents, they click the window’s close box instead of the Back button. This gets them out of the document all right, but not back to the Web page from whence they started.
[…]
Because users frequently close document windows, the best guidelines for linking to non-Web documents are:
1. Open non-Web documents in a new browser window.
2. Warn users in advance that a new window will appear.
3. Remove the browser chrome (such as the Back button) from the new window.
4. Best of all, prevent the browser from opening the document in the first place. Instead offer users the choice to save the file on their harddisk or to open it in its native application (Adobe Reader for PDF, PowerPoint for slides, etc.). […].”
