Opening a New Browser Window

Opening a New Browser WindowTo get a link to open in a new browser window, what you do is add the target="_blank" attribute to your link tag, like this:

<A HREF="http://www.pageresource.com/linkus.htm" target="_blank">
Link to us!</A>

This will give you the following link:

Link to us!

Go ahead and click on it. Your browser will open a new window with my reciprocal links page in it. You will need to close the window when you are finished. Use the "close" option rather than the "exit" option, because the "exit" option will make you exit your browser entirely!

You can try it with an image as well:

<A HREF="http://www.pageresource.com/linkus.htm" target="_blank">
<IMG SRC="http://www.pageresource.com/images/scare.jpg">
</A>

Now you have the clickable image:

There is also a way to do this using JavaScript, which gives you more options on the appearance of the new window. If you are interested, go to the section Opening a New Window with JavaScript.
