Try searching the message board before asking a question, it has been asked many times.
Anyway, you would use:
<a href="link.html" target="_blank"> (Or you could use target="_new")

where do you put the code? before, after or in the link code?

geekette already gave you the example:

<a href="link.html" target="_blank">

so that means you have to add this part:

target="_blank

into your link like the example above.

Love,
Mirna

Hey..I still have problems.. I tried that code like this:

<a href="http://www.lissaexplains.com" target="_blank">

and it didnt' show up on the page.. it was like it dissapeared completely off the site. Wat did I do wrong?

of coarse if all else fail you could just use the javascript equivalant,

<a href="javascript:open('http://www.lissaexplains.com/')"> LISSA'S </a>

it's probably better to use target="_blank", in case someone's browser does not support JavaScript, or they have disabled it.

in the code you tried, did you finish it? did you add the text to it? because all you posted was <a href="http://www.lissaexplains.com" target="blank"> without the text or </a> tag. that is the correction that shifty1 posted- did you try that? because that should have worked. if not, could you post a link to the page that you tried it on?

this is No advertising ~ mod I've needed the help on. The particular part of the site is on the right -column, on the top box. I tried Dude128's suggestion and it worked :) I guess I'll use that instead of the javascript thing. Thx again.
