Can I open a new IE window by using _IEAction ($o_Link, "click")?

[icu 0]

Dear AutoIt Community,

I would like to open a new IE window from a link on a page.

I know I have the correct object as I have parsed the link ID using regular expression from the relevant HTML and done the old $o_Link = _IEGetObjByID ($o_IE, $s_ID_String

I do not want it opened as a tab. I've done the usual thing and looked through the Help file and did a Forum search but I've not had any luck.

Any and all help much appreciated.

Kind regards,

icu

What does the link look like? <a href=?>

Hi Dale, thanks for your post.

HTML is as follows:

<a id="rptResults__ctl1_lnkEstabId" title="View estab details" href="javascript:openInNewWindow(2008737,1,2)">2008737</a>

What happens when you _IELinkClickByText($oIE, "2008737")

Hi Dale,

Thanks for your help and suggestion. When I use the code snippet you suggest the URL loads in the same IE window frame and does not create a tab or new window. It would be the same result if I typed _IENavigate ($o_IE, "link address").

Kind regards,
