SharePoint 2013 Promoted Links Target=”=” Issue

Recently I had a colleague looking into an issue with Promoted Links notĀ opening into a new tab in SharePoint 2013. So I thought I will look into it and see how it could be fixed using a bit of JavaScript.

To test this problem I have created a Promoted Link called My Links and added two items. Create an new item for a link to google.com and bing,com web site:

sharepoint_promoted_link_issue_01

When you click on either one of the tiles it will open a new tab, don’t close the tab and return to the tab where the Promoted Links were. Now click on the other tile and you can see that it open in the same tab as the previous tile. (more…)
