Is there a way I can force a new window to open when a
user clicks on a hyperlink I've put in one of my web page
created with frontpage.

Thanks for any help!
 
The quick and dirty way to do this is to add to your link:
target="_blank"

But you won't have any control over the appearance of the new window, i.e.
can't turn toolbars on or off, can't control the size, etc.

If you'd like to add that capability, you'll need to use JavaScript. You
can download the free Spawn FrontPage add-in from:
http://www.jimcoaddins.com

Using an add-in allows you to get the effect you want without having to
learn code. :)
 
1. Highlight word you want to add hyperlink to
2. right click on mouse right button with middle finger
3. select HYPERLINK
4. select folder/page within your web or a URL
5. select TARGET FRAME button on right side
6. select NEW WINDOW
7. Choose to open in a new window for all links on that
page by selecting check-box set as page default (you'll
see _blank) in the white bar aboveit. Or...to only have
that one link open in a new window, just leave the check-
box blank.

That will work for you...however, if you want to get
really creative by sizing the window the way you want it,
use JAVASCRIPT or find the // Centered Pop-Up Window (v1.0)
