Currently, when you point at a link, the Mozilla mouse pointer changes from a generic pointer to a link pointer. There is not, however, any differentiation between regular links and links which will open a new window. So, I would like to suggest that Mozilla use an alternate link pointer when you point at a link which will open a new window. (FYI - When you click SEARCH on the Mozilla bug-search page, it also opens a new window, but I don't think this is a good example of my enhancement request since form buttons don't cause the link pointer to appear.)

Whoa, good idea!

Marking NEW.

yes, we should try to do this, however it won't work perfectly (javascript urls can do anything they like, and testdriving is not worth it), this will probably not work on all platforms. There are three or four states: target=_new, target=somesiblingframe, target=existingnamedframeThatisNotAsibling, target=inline Ideally, we'd have different classes for each of these, and by default most of them would share cursors.

The basic problem is to indicate whether or not a link will open in a new window, before the user clicks the link. This bug and bug 14027 suggest different implementations; I've resummarized bug 14027 to be non-implementation-specific, and I'll mark this as a dup since these two bugs will either be mutually exclusive or will be resolved at the same time. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 14027 ***
