I am trying to created a link that will bring me to new window that will have several differnet images on it. I understand how to make a pop up window, but I want a full size page that will allow me to put several different images and text. It can leave my original page so that all a person has to do is click on the back button to go back to my page. I hope I am wording this correctly:)

It sounds like you are just talking about another page in your site. Design and publish the page and put a link to it in your navigation bar. The navigation bar should be in the same place on every page of your site. You can have as many pages as you want. The most common practice is to have a main navigation bar that links to all your primary pages (home, about, contact, etc.) and secondary navigation to pages within those areas. Do a search on "navigation bar" or "navbar" to learn more about them and coding them.

As long as the pages you visit are in the same browser instance or tab, you can back or forward button all you want. If a new window (new browser instance or tab) opens, you will only be able to navigate backward and forward through pages THAT browser or tab has been. There is a great debate on the pros and cons of links that open new windows. I don't particularly care one way or t-other, as long as the action is consistent throughout the website.

first you need to create the page with images on it. lets call it "page2.html". after you do that, you can link to that page and make it show up in that same window by using this code:

<a href="page2.html">click here!</a>

the bold part makes the link open up that page2.html [the one with the images]. then all they gave to do is click the back button and go back to the original page!

or, you can make the page2.html page open up in a new window and then put another link on it, back to the original page. use these codes:


<a href="page2.html" target="_blank">click here!</a>

the red part will page page2.html open up in a new window.

now, on the page2.html page, you can put a link back to your original page [let's call it "index.html"] using this code:

<a href="original.html">click to go back!</a>


i hope that helps!
