Open Links in New Window

[tech27]

Hi,
I'd like to know 2 things please:

1-How can I make it so that a followed link from my page opens in another
window?

2-Is there any way to apply this to ALL the links on my site (globally or at
least per page) or do I have to edit every single link?

Thanks.

refer to http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30 - item 8 I
believe.
and it is a function specific to the link so it is set on each link
individually.

Hi David,

Thanks again for the pointer. I have one question: In the line(s) given
below am I correct to think that all I have to do is put my address in the
http://www.domain.com spot, or do I have to change anything else? ie: is
this the full hypertext line and I put the target after the target= place
like" =http://www.intendedtarget.com

Thanks


<a target="_blank" href="http://www.domain.com">Link Text</a>

To re-use the window you launched on each target use:

<a target="_display" href="http://www.domain.com">Link Text</a>

the URL you want the link to go to is what goes in the href=" " string.

target="_blank" is what tells the link ( the a href ) to spawn a new window.

Thanks. I've tried to get it to work but I guess I'm not getting the syntax
right.

How would the complete hyperlink be entered if my domain is www.me.com and
I'm linking to www.them.com?

Thanks

your domain is irrelevant. I think you're stuck on that.

paste the following into an html code fragment and you've got a link...

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.them.com">Click Here to visit
them.com</a>

Thanks.

It's so obvious now!
I was confused with another explanation using "my domain" and "their
domain".
