icu Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icu Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 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").
