Link

How do i go about making a link that opens the new page in a new window...?


Thanks

really this is against the accessability and web standards...you should not force a user to have to open something in a new window. That out of the way, you use target="_blank"


<a href="link.html" target="_blank">Opens in new window</a>

Thank you, and i will remember that word of advice. I am using it know only because i am using it in a presentation that only a few people (5 to be exact) will see and have any use of. So once again Thank you! This board has been much help!!!

You should use JavaScript instead of target=_blank.

JS:

function popWindowBookstore(URL,windowName,windowFeatures){
newWindow=window.open('http://www.google.com','windowName','scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=500,resizable=yes,left=140,top=80,tool bar=no')
}

HTML:

<a href="javascript:;" onClick="popWindowBookstore()">Click me</a>

I like to stay away from the old javascript: protocol.

<a href="#" onclick="popWindowBookstore();return false">Click me</a>
