Yeah, I'll get right on that.

Web form submission:

Clueless grad student/summer intern: When I right click on a link in IE 6 and select Open in New Window, it opens in a new window, that is above the current window I'm in. I don't want it to do that.

It's Friday. We have a production server down, people attempting remote access from across the Atlantic, and this guy's upset with how MicroSoft does stuff? WTF? I'll code up a new version right away, sir. I'll also go and build that ATM that dispenses money without debiting your account while I'm at it.

Gah!

Upset with how Microsoft does stuff? What do other companies do when you ask them to open in a new window?

Funny thing is, he was using Firefox when he used our web submission form.

Except that Firefox also opens new windows over the current window when you tell it to open something in a new window...

Maybe he wants tabs and just doesn't read very well?

I have the feeling he'd figured out Tabs in Firefox and was upset at the limited customizing available in IE.

"Load links in background."

Its under Prefs -> Navigator -> Tabbed Browsing in Mozilla.

Firefox does it by default, and has no option.
