I am using Frontpage, and want to open an external website in a new window,
so the user does not leave my website. I have tried following the
instructions in FP without success. Any suggestions?
All FP does when you follow the instructions is to write a piece of
HTML that looks something like this:
<a href="
http://www.somebodyelseswebsite.com" target="_blank">your
link</a>
For the link to open in a new window, the relevant part is that
target="_blank".
So you could look at the HTML view of your page, find the link and
check that it looks similar to the code further up this post.
If you don't want to get involved with HTML, open the page in Normal
view, place the mouse cursor in the link then right-click and choose
Hyperlink Properties. The Edit Hyperlink dialog box will show the URL
of your link, it will be highlighted, and below that will be an area
marked Optional. At the right of this will be a box titled Target
Frame. If this doesn't say New Window, click on the pencil icon to
Change Target/Frame and choose New Window from the list.
Then click OK.
