I do not think there is a way to make a link open a new window. However, if you right click the link, there is an option that says "Open A New Window". Click that, and the link will open a new window for you.
Do you find this valuable?

"I do not think there is a way to make a link open a new window. However, if you right click the link, there is an option that says "Open A New Window". Click that, and the link will open a new window for you. "I've clicked on links and they open in a new window without having to use the context menu. Not very conveniently advertised. This notion proves that there is a proper way of executing the link-to-new window without being a programmer. Do you find this valuable? |

In order for Wetpaint to offer this they would either have to allow HTML editing or add the option directly to Add a Link feature.In HTML it would need the target parameter: <a href="http://www.wetpaintcentral.com" target="_blank">Wetpaint Central</a> Do you find this valuable? |

You could always add this link by using iFrame coding. Open up a blank Notepad document, and copy and paste the code Budde has provided us in the previous post. However, you would have to change the URL of your site. <a href="siteurlhere" target="_blank">SitenameHere</a> That is what you would copy and paste into your Notepad document. From there, you could save this information as Document Name.html. Then, attach this to your wetpaint site. Then, copy and paste the attachment URL into an iFrame coding displayed below: <iframe name="insert name of iframe" src="insert attachment URL" width="width of widget height="height of widget" srcolling="yes or no"> This does require a bit of work, but you can get it done.

Note: You do not need to use the name parameter for it to work, nor would you need scrolling, as it is a link.

Opening links in a new window is a function of the browser. Firefox and Internet Explorer both have options to do so. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
