Is there a way to prevent _blank?

[Enigma 78]

I'm looking for a solution that prevents clicks to open in a new window.

Currently a site (and not only this one but a lot more) use _blank for every page, thus opens in a new window which can't work with the bot.

 

Is there a way to get around this?

Can we manipulate the page to open in the same window?

Scrape the link and then nav to it.

 

It may even be possible to find and replace all of the target="_blank" attributes.

Thanks buddy.

 

How am i do it?

With $replace?

Nevermind i already scraped the links and use that.

I was not able to find a _blank tag in the site source but it does open all links in a new window.

Maybe a php trick?

Great news. Could be a javascript rather than a php trick though. I started to look at a replace solution - but it was looking fairly painful.
