staying with my page when linking to external URL 1

[redmike]

Hi,

I know this has to be easy. It all is when you know how

How do I keep my page active when a visitor clicks on a link and gets taken to an external page.

At the moment people can only get back to my page by using the back button.

thanks,

Mike

Hi bud,

You could either open the link in a new page using a <a href=&quot;xxxx.xxxx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;> or you could use frames on your page and target the link to the main frame.

Hope this help some.

It may be a whole lot easier if you write a little javascript function using the

Function openNew(){
window.open(URL);
}
I know I'm in the wrong forum for saying this but I would go that route for opening new windows.

thank you both.

I used <a href=&quot;xxxx.xxxx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;> which is working fine.

My last site had frames but I've limited myself to tables and shared borders with my new one - for now anyway.

I had enough trouble trying to get the java that I am using to work properly with both IE and Netscape.

Real pain the lack of standardisation
