Hi

I have been doing some research on expected behaviour of clicking on links from 
within a website to other external websites. Much of my research suggests that 
the recommended practice is to keep people within the same window/tab except in 
some instances. This gives users maximum control as they have the choice to 
left click on the link and open in a new tab/window.

I have included a few links:

http://uxdesign.smashingmagazine.com/2008/07/01/should-links-open-in-new-windows/

http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9605.html

I was wondering if anyone had any views/resources as to whether users should 
remain in the same window or should be taken to a new window/tab when they 
click on an external link?

Regards

Alex Mironov
