Just wonder is that possible when user click the web site link and F5 will assist to open a new tab for new page instead ?

 

Example : when user access to www.test.com and click on the "contact" button link . Then, f5 will assist open a new tab .

    Hi Jack,

    this would be possible using a STREAM Profile or by using an iRule using the [STREAM::enable], [STREAM::disable] and [STREAM::expression] syntax. Basically you have to change the "contact" button related HTML content so that it instructs the browser to open the link in a new Window/Tab.

    If the original code looks like this...

    Contact

    ... it has to be changed to ...

    Contact

    The STREAM expression would then look like this...

    @www.test.com/contact.html\">@www.test.com/contact.html\" target=\"_blank\">@@

    Note: The HTML code and the expression is just an example. You have to dig into your HTML/JScript code using some browser based debugging tools and find a stable code patch for your site. Once you have identified the required change, you could rewrite the code on the wire using STREAM...

    Cheers, Kai
