HI
I am very new and I am setting up a list of URL's in a database. When they are listed and you click on them they open in the same window...how do I make them open in a new window ?
Thanks for the help
All the best, Gibby
In order for a link to open in a new window you need to add target="_blank" to the opening tag of your link.
Example:
<a href="http://www.your.link" target="_blank">link</a>
If you use the built-in editor to add your links select new window from the target drop-down menu in the link dialog, which you get when you click the chain icon.
Hope this helps.

The problem is that the database automatically generates links that are supplied in the url field (www.your.link.com). Ideally, it should have a "new window/same window" toggle. Any ideas how to get around this?
Thanks,

Hi Gibby
I tried this and it seems to have worked.
Make sure that the "Autolink the URL" is NOT selected
Then in the template section for each template add the following (the bolded bit) to the html
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="right">URL:
</td>
<td style="text-align: left;"><a target="_blank" href="URL">URL</a>
</td>
</tr>
Cheers

If its in a database, and you want it to link to whatever is entered in the add template, then you need to add the following hyperlink code (in red) around the normal position of the field place holder (i.e. someword:
<a href="website" target="blank">website</a>
As you can see from the above, in the templates, there is a section where the user enters the website URL into a field (the field type is URL and I have given it the name website - you can call it whatever you like).
The URL field gives a text box with the text "http://" already inserted. When a user adds an entry they just continue with www.google.com so it ends up looking like http://www.google.com. When they save it, and view the entry, this hyperlink will open a new page and go to google.
Hi All,
Can't seem to do it? can anyone help? Can't get the url to open in new window. And when I get it to open to new window - there is a prefix of our domain which appears in front of the url. Eg. http://Leon.edu.au/google.com
which will not work.
Cheers.
