Opening a New Window in HTML

Okay ladies, I need more help. With SBI I have to do my own coding... of which I know very little. That 8th grade class in computer programing (out of date as it was!) did not stick with me! I want to open a new window from a link. This is what I did.

In SBI, this is not working. What is wrong and how do I fix it?????

That is how you do it in html. SBI must have something different. I can't log into their help files to help you out. Sad

Sorry!

I swear there is nothing better than knowing I'm right. Whether other's fess up to it or not. Laughing

I've learned over the years not to rub it in. People don't like to hear you are right. lol

How do you do it normally - that it doesn't open in a new window?

Try this:

<a href="http://www.preschoolrainbow.org/parent.html" target="_top">Preschool Indoor Fun Activities for Parents and Young Children</a>

OR

<a href="http://www.preschoolrainbow.org/parent.html" target="_parent">Preschool Indoor Fun Activities for Parents and Young Children</a>

Yeah, that's going to bug me until it's figured out, lol!

Take care,
Anita Razz

This is what I have that does not open a new window- but the link does open.
<a href="http://www.preschoolrainbow.org/parent.html>Preschool Indoor Fun Activities for Parents and Young Children</a>

When I try the other ways, it brings up the main site with a url not found error message. I tried the same format on another link and it did the same thing. I will try the SBI forum. I am using their block builder to build the site because I do not have an html editor. They have a block for a text link that does open a new window, but with this being a resource page, I do not want to build 50 blocks!

Thanks for your help. Any other suggestions, I will try them too... maybe a java command????

Make sure you have end " on your link. Wink

If you copy and pasted that link, there is no end " on the link. I so hope that is it! I love it when they are easy one's. Laughing

So copy and paste and see if that works.
