Code to make a page open in new window

[Guest]

Isn't there a simple code I can insert on my page to make a link open in a
new window and then that page would close and still have the last page
showing?

 

[Kevin Spencer]

Add a "target" attribute to the hyperlink. The value will be "_blank".
Example:

< a href="someotherpage.html" target="_blank">Some text</a>

This can be done visually using the Hyperlink Properties dialog box. Look
for the "Target Frame" button.

An alternative to Kevin's suggestion is to use the free pop-up script
provided by JimCo Software called Spawn
(http://www.jimcosoftware.com/addins.aspx). With this approach you can
define the size and location of the window. The target="_blank" approach
opens the page in a new window, but it usually covers/hides the open window
behind it. HTH

Try the Spawn pluggin on www.jimcosoftware.com - this is an FAQ - there are
several posts this week on this same issue.
