Link on a page

  • Hi,

    I am adding pages to my website that contain links to other places. Is there a way I can get these links to open in another screen so that my website is not lost? In other words when they click out of the linked page my website is there for them to continue on.

    Thanks

  • if you write like this a new page will open:
    try this in the html code:

    target=”_blank”

    after the link of the page you want them to go , after this ”

    Hi Parende,
    I tried your code target=”_blank” with my link but it didn’t work. Did I do something wrong?
    Thanks

    Please do not open links in new windows without warning visitors in clear text on the page.

    Opening links in this way breaks the browser back button – resulting in some users being permanently stranded with no way back to your site. As many of these users will be disabled – and given that equal web access is now mandated by law in many countries – this could place your site on the wrong site of the law.

    Can you give us a link to your page? and where are the links you mentioned?

    Hi Esmi and Parande,

    I did figure it out. I just put the code in the wrong place. However, I did not know this may be against the law. You would think they have enough to worry about with this being one of them. So maybe i should not open my page in a new window. I need to reconsider.

    Thank you for all of your help.
