Hypertexts and hyperlinks are inserted in websites for navigating to a specific webpage. The users, while browsing through the site, can right click the link to open it in another window, or click the middle button of the mouse. However, in Internet Explorer 7, when you try to open a link in another window, it will create some trouble.
In Internet Explorer 7, when the hyper link is commanded to open in a new window, it will either show a blank page or a scripting error message. The script error will indicate that the interface is not supported and that the window could not be opened. These are not the problem with the website or the link, for the hyperlinks will be opening in other browsers. The issues are due to browser problems. When simple features such as opening new windows or new tab in Internet Explorer is not working, it indicates that registration information or files of the browser have been corrupted, or changes have been made to the browser. To solve the issue, the user must restore the browser settings. The browser Tools will help in fixing these issues. This article shares the instructions for fixing the browser issues of Internet Explorer to open the hyperlinks in a new window.
