Apologies if this question has already been asked but if it has I cannot see where. How do I cause a new window to open on the existing screen when a surfer clicks a hyperlink in a webpage created with Dreamweaver please? Thanks.
Thank you, Eccles - your suggestion worked a treat. I am grateful to you. Give my fond regards to Min and Neddy. Oldun.
To control how a HTML link should open you should use the target attribute in you link code:
There are several attributes you can use for the target:
target="_blank" : Indicates a new window.
target="_parent" : Specifies the parent frame which contains the source link.
target="_self" : The meaning is very much obvious. The new document is loaded in the same frame.
target="_top" : This indicates a new document window. It is a good way to break out of frames and load the document in the same window.
target="frame-name" : You can use this to specify in which frame the document should be loaded.
target="RESOURCE WINDOW" : This loads the document in a new browser window. This is same as _blank.
So in your case you would use _blank to open the link in a new window.
