Opening a hyperlinked site in a separate window

[Ben]

In Publisher 2003 I would like to create a hyperlink to
another website but without leaving my own. In other
words the other website should open in its own window.
How can I achieve this

Thank you

Pub doesn't support that but you can write the code yourself, refer to

Thanks for your reply. I referred to your instructions
created a new page in Publisher and inserted the
followiing HTML fragment in order to create a link to
Reuters.com from my website.

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


What's supposed to happen then. When I do a webpage
preview the code fragment is replaced with something like
<endif> <endif> Am i missing an important step.


Thank you

I just copied this code you have here and pasted it into a blank 2003 web
page and saved it to my pc (publish to web) and then browsed to the html
file, opened it, clicked the link and it functioned correctly.

Web Preview probably just chokes on the fragment. I personally recommend
against using it, rather I recommend saving the site to the pc and then
testing the actual htm files in the browser.

I tried your example using Java Script and successfully
produced a button which when clicked opens a new Window
But I'd like to ask 2 questions
How can I position that button on the web page (because i
want to have several of them in a column)
and secondly where in your example javascript code do I
specify the name of the website i want to open in that
new window?

Thanks for your patience
