Hyperlink to launch new window

[Guest]

The Frontpage hyperlink > target frame > new window does not result in the
link displaying the destination site in a new window. It shows it in the
current window. My development team suggests it is a FrontPage 2003 bug. Can
anyone confirm this and suggest an alternative approach that does not involve
changing the code directly? Thank you.

Download and install the free FP addin "Spawn" from www.jimcoaddins.com

Take a look at the hyperlink tag (in HTML view). It should read <a
href="whatever" target="_blank">etc</a>

What do you see?

Hi Tom,

I downloaded the add in but it did not change the result. The "_blank" code
does not appear with the new link. Am I still supposed to use the
hyperlink>target frame>new window steps to have it launch a new window?

Check and make sure you have *not* set a "base href" tag for the page.
If you have, it will be in the head section of the page.
If there remove it.

right click on the text you want as a hyperlink, the click the option "Spawn"
which should be in the right-click menu (if the addin was successfully
installed).
