[Qt-interest] Launching new browser from within QtWebKit

[Darryl Hunter]

Hi Alan,

The createWindow method only gets called if target="_blank" has been set on
the target.  I assume that gets handled by the acceptNavigationRequest
method.

It works fine on Mac as well as Windows.

I was googling and looking for an answer to this very same question.
But looking at your code, it is not obvious where you are able to determine
whether the <a href> element had a target="_blank" attribute in it.
But I am in the same boat. I want to know if the clicked link came from a
<a> tag with a target= and I want to create a new web view in such a case.

Do you get a different NavigationType in your
acceptNavigationRequest() function, or what?
