Does the version of IE included with Windows Mobile 6.1 support "new tab" or "new window"?


I'm developing a small web app using ASP.NET (VB). Does the Windows Mobile 6.1 browser support "new tab"? How about "new window"?

Here's the code I'm using:

<img src="image/specs.jpg"
     style="cursor: hand;"
     title="Define Serial Number"
     onclick="javascript: window.open('dialog_window.aspx?p=request_line_specs.aspx&appid=<%=AppId.Text%>&linenum=<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "LineNum")%>&apptype=<%=AppType.Text%>&itemcode=<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ItemCode")%>&t=Define Serials', 'scroll:no; status:no; address: no; dialogWidth: 700px; dialogHeight: 500px;')"
/>

Solution

  • The version of Internet Explorer that came with the Windows Mobile platforms does NOT support tab browsing.

    Tab browsing came out around IE 8, and Widows Mobile includes a cut down version of ...IE6, I believe.

    So, basically, tab browsing was not developed yet.

    To my knowledge, the cut down version of IE in Windows Mobile will not support opening a link in a new window, either.

    Hope this answers your question.
