Re: Open link in new window

In the properties menu, there is a taget comand, set it to _blank and it will come up in a new window.

Thanks! Is there any way you would want to explain to me what the rest of the options mean? So '_blank' opens a new window, what do '_parent' '_self' and '_top' do?

The other three are generally used if you are using frames.

_parent opens the window in the parent frameset, thus replacing the entire
frameset. _self will open the link in the current frame (or in the current
window in a non-frames site). _top opens the link in the current browser
and will replace all frames.

Use F1 Help in Dreamweaver......
Target lets you specify the frame or window in which the linked document
will load:

a.. _blank loads the linked file in a new, unnamed browser window.
b.. _parent loads the linked file in the parent frameset or window of the
frame that contains the link. If the frame containing the link is not
nested, the linked file loads into the full browser window.
c.. _self loads the linked file in the same frame or window as the link.
This target is implied, so you generally don't need to specify it.
d.. _top loads the linked file in the full browser window, thereby
removing all frames.
