In Safari, when I do 'Command-Click' on a link inside a web page, it should open up the linked page in a new tab. And it does, except for one particular website (ctvnews.ca) - for this site, the linked page replaces the original page, just as if I had done a simple Click.
Why would just this one website do this while all the others behave properly? And what can I do about it?

New Tab is command-T.
If the default homepage is configured in the settings, the new tab will open with that page.
If you set that default homepage to be a blank page, that's what opens.
command-L lets you enter a new link in the link field (a.k.a URL field). For people coming from Mac to PC world after getting used to command-L, sadly, that logs them out of the PC with control-L.
Each program you have to learn a slightly different set of shortcuts.

I have the exact issue with the CTV News site. it does not happen on ANY other site. for me, I think it started about two months ago. to me it appears due to an issue with how they coded their site. unless / until they fix it, I use the "control+click" and choose "open link in new tab".
Thanks for the replies - It's good to see that it's not just me. I will have to do the 'Control-click' or right click then 'open link in new tab'. An extra step, but at least it does what I want.

Right-click > Open Link in new tab usually work in such pages where cmd-click fails.
I'm not having any problem with 'Command-T' - it works as you describe. It's 'Command-Click' where the trouble lies, and only for the one webpage (that I have so far seen).
Paul.
you're welcome. :)
