    Red face Hyperlink tag

    Is there a way to force a hyperlink to open in a new window ?? My site uses frames at the moment, and I would prefer hyperlinks to external sites to open as new windows.

    Cheers in advance,

    For future reference - the TARGET command also uses;

    TARGET="_blank" - Creates a new blank window.
    TARGET="_self" - Opens link in same window or frame (default).
    TARGET="_parent" - Much like _self but this resets the browser first, removing all frames.
    TARGET="_top" - Creates a new window, but not as a child window.

    You can also give frames names within the FRAMESET tag, so you can later reference to them. So TARGET could equal;

    TARGET="leftFrame"
    TARGET="rightFrame"
    TARGET="oneWindow"
    TARGET="otherWindow"

    ......anyway, yeah I'm bored!

    Cheers!
