URL.txt blocks and target="_blank" opening a secon

Post by Tim »

Scott,

We have found that if a URL is blocked by a "-" prefix entry in URL.txt and that URL is invoked by a web page which uses the "A HREF=... TARGET=_BLANK" to open the link in a new window then although PWB pops up the correct message from Access.txt it still opens the new window empty with no content. Is it possible for PWB to check URL.txt first and then only open the new window if the URL is allowed?

Thanks,

Tim.

The problem being, the new window is allowed to opened because "blank" is not blocked, then when the "blank" window navigates, the URL is blocked. The new window is already opened when PWB blocks the URL. This of course leaves the empty window.

I will see what I can do.
