Can anyone tell me how to create a pop-up window for links within my site so people don't actually leave my site? I can't seem to figure it out..... Thanks! kim
 
To open a new window, you can use an inline script:

onClick="MyWindow=window.open (' return false;"

add to your link <a href=&quot;#&quot; code here>
The # stays as is, change the website address and specify the properties of the new window (toolbar=yes/no,location=yes/no, etc)

In FP Specify new link and add to the properties box ;-)

Good Luck!
 
Select the link
Go to Insert | Hyperlink or press Control K to bring up the Edit Hyperlink dialog box or press the hyperlink icon.

next go to 'Target Frame' in the bottom right hand corner there will be an icon shaped like a pencil and it will say
'Change Targe Frame' when you mouse over it. Click it and a new dialog box will pop up called 'Target Frame'. Click the link that says 'new window' press ok twice. That link will now open in a new window when clicked in the browser.

Note: One should do this for each link and not tick the 'set as page default' box in the 'Target Frame' dialog box as this will also make your own site links pop up. This is not a good idea for your own links (your pages in your site). It should only be used for outside links to other sites.
