Open URL in new window

[Lizzzet]

Just can't figure it out. I have been to davidbartosik.com (may times) I
have read the instructions. I know I have to insert <a target="_blank"
href="http://www.domain.com">Link Text</a> But where ? On the original
page? Where on the page? In addition to the hyperlink? Help is
appreciated. I am lost with this one. Guess I am still a "newbie".

<a class="txt" target="_blank" href=http://destination url here>what you
display</a>

IS the hyperlink.

You draw an html code fragment on the page where you want the link to be and
paste this link code.
I rewrote this on the new FAQ page at
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30

Figured it out but got another problem
Website opens fine but when clicking the Back arrow, nothing happens. How do
I get back to my site?
And how to I review the code inserted ?

When I click on the Button where I inserted the HTML code, msg I get is:
HTML code fragment will be converted to graphic when published - code
willnot be read by browser. did I do something wrong (again).

If you used

target="_blank"

to open the link in a NEW window how could the back button take you back?

If you want to have someplace for the back button to go back to then do not
use the target, remove that and use the same window for the links. Removing
the target removes the need to code your own link.

an html code fragment cannot be used with an object. Publisher writes the
code to create your object. Code you write and insert is "included" by
Publisher. Code cannot overlap code. If you want a graphical link versus a
textual link then you write the link accordingly, meaning you code the
graphic in, not Publisher. On my site in the web design section I have some
HTML code tutorials. I strongly encourage you to review this material. All
your questions could be and can be answered if you had some basic
understanding of HTML.
