Hope this is not a silly question but is there a way to put up a message
when the viewer clicks on a link that takes them away from my website to
another website. I want to add a link to my menu structure that is another
website. I figure I would have it open a new Window (at the very least).

Thanks in Advance

<ick>Yes, but WHY???</ick>

They're leaving because they want to. What do you wish to accomplish by
displaying a message?

Hi JCO,

To prompt the visitor before leaving a page, you may consider working on the "onbeforeunload" event in your page code. This event fires
prior to a page being unloaded and you can write your own handler for this event. You may check the following page for the related
information and example.

Regarding opening a new window, I am not sure how you design the menus. Normally, you can use the following method in FrontPage
with a simple hyperlink to open the target page in a new window.

1. Open the page in FrontPage.
2. Right click the hyperlink and then click Hyperlink Properties.
3. Click "Target Frame" and select "New Window"
4. Click OK.

I hope the information helps.

Thanks (both of you) for your reply.
The more I think about it, the more I don't see the use of doing this.
