Kevin, I believe if you simply add target "_blank" to your link tag that you create with your current editor that it will cause the link to open in a new window. So you can simply add a link as normal, and then edit the text with that lil addition.... It might look like: <a href="mylink.html" target "_blank">Click here to go to my link</a> I haven't used the target attribute in a while, so perhaps someone else here might offer correction?... Hope this works though... Smiles, Cara :) On Jan 14, 2008, at 9:12 AM, Kevin Reeves wrote: > Hey Robin. > I'm not really intending on building full websites that need to be > coded by hand.
