How do I set a links to open a new browser window.
I want all my "frame" links to open in a new browser window, not in the main or frame set window.

yea in your anchor tag put "target=_blank" ie:

Code:

<a href='whatever.html'

Code:

target='_blank'

I am new to HTML and trying to this using just a text editor, but where exactily would this statement be included? Where is the anchor tag?

Just like Dookie illustrated!

This works excellent for each individual link, but is there a way that I can specify that all links on a page will open a new brwoser window? Without adding this statement to each individual link?

put this in the <head> part of your document:

Code:

<Script language='javascript'><!--
function changeLinkTarget()
{
links = document.links;
for (x=0;x<links.length;x++)
	{
	links[x].target = '_blank';
	}
}
//--></script>

and in your <body> tag, put this little snippet of code:

Code:

onload='changeLinkTarget()'

hope it helps!
