links opening in new window
Hi

I have a links page on my web site. If someone clicks on a link I want the site to open in a new window so that there is still a window with my site in. I am using dreamweaver but am quite happy to mess around with the html. How do I do this?

Cheers
Richard

I have looked at some source code on the internet. Does the following line do this?

" target="_blank"


Cheers
Richard

Yes.

If you look at the source code on this page, your own signature line is a perfect example.

What RichardJones was pointing out was that target="_blank"
would be inserted in a link like
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>

If you have multiple links on the page and you want all of them
opening _blank then you can tell the page to do that by
inserting (just under where it has the </head>)
<base target="_blank">

Then all links like <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>
will open in a new browser.

HI

Thanks for the replies guys. I just want to make my web site look a bit better. Am trying to get a job and giving out the address left right and centre.

Cheers again
Richard
