Maggie's Farm

Why don't you embed a:

TARGET="_blank"

at the end of each link? That automatically opens a new browser window. That's how it's usually done for off-linking.

Maggie's Farm with pop-open links:

The first three links, "cigars", "Why?" and "An interesting guy" open a new browser window.

Note: Page doesn't look correct because the editor I use doesn't recognize stylesheets.

I thought we'd first cover that it CAN be done...then work on how.

For embedding the TARGET command, I use a program called "My Function Keys" to do the dirty deed. When I want to make some text off-link to a site, I highlight the text, hit the 'Link' button and slap in the URL with Ctrl-V. Then I reach up and hit the F8 key which:

- Opens the 'Extra HTML' box
- Punches in the TARGET command
- OK's its way out of the second box
- OK's its way out of the first box

Voila! Elapsed time, about 1.32 seconds, give or take.

It's a free program for the main functionality. The commercial version opens up a bank of Ctrl-F keys and Alt-F keys. It doesn't have a home site anymore, but a search for "my function keys download" should pop it up on some download site. Very nifty, handy program. Might as well do SOMETHING with the dang things.

Anyway, I've looked over your source code and I don't see anything stopping you from slapping in the TARGET command, and, as noted, if you let My Function Keys do the heavy labor, it doesn't take but a sec to add the TARGET command while slapping in the URL.

I probably won't be getting back to this thread, BD, so if you want to discuss it further, get hold of me via email.
