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
