G'day again Shaun Actually what I was getting at was not moving the external links to a separate page but including a window "target" in the HTML code so that the external link opens in a new, separate window rather than replacing your page.
Most HTML editors should be able to do this but, in any case, you can edit the code manually. For example, in the paragraph under "Wittenoom Gorge" on your home page there is a link to Mesothelioma Web. The code for the link is: <a href="http://www.mesotheliomaweb.org/mesothelioma.htm";><strong>mesothelioma. </strong></a> When someone clicks on this link the Mesothelioma Web site replaces your page and the visitor might not return. However, the following code would open Mesothelioma Web in a new window and leave your page active. <a href="http://www.mesotheliomaweb.org/mesothelioma.htm"; target="window1"><strong>mesothelioma. </strong></a> Sorry if I'm telling you something you already know. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Australian Plants Societies http://farrer.csu.edu.au/ASGAP/ On Thu, 22 Apr 2004 15:12 , 'Dr. Shaun Canning' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent: >Thanks for the positive comments Brian.
