Undgå, at links åbner i et nyt vindue
Undgå, at links åbner i et nyt vindue, når brugeren klikker på dem.
Et link, der åbner i et nyt vindue, kan skabe forvirring hos brugeren, der måske ikke opdager, at siden er åbnet i et nyt vindue.
Han kan derfor have svært ved at komme tilbage, fordi det nye vindue bevirker, at tilbage-knappen ikke fungerer.
Brugeren har altid mulighed for at vælge at åbne et link i et nyt vindue eller i samme vindue. Tvinger udgiveren et link til at åbne i et nyt vindue, fratager man samtidig brugeren en valgmulighed.

Citater
”Many Web pages contain links that open new browser windows. When these browser windows open, the Back button is disabled. If the new window opens full-screen, users may not realize that they have been redirected to another window, and may become frustrated because they cannot press Back to return to the previous page.”
Koyani, Bailey & Nall:
Research-Based Web Design & Usability Guidelines (2004), s. 58
”Designers open new browser windows on the theory that it keeps users on their site. But even disregarding the user-hostile message implied in taking over the user’s machine, the strategy is self-defeating since it disables the Back button which is the normal way users return to previous sites.”
