Or you could have target="writing_tips" and target="humor" and target="rants" if you wanted to open new windows and direct the link to open in them based on predefined categories.Holly Jahangirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034708581256314628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179114314622312316.post-29998856638411978002008-10-02T18:32:00.000-05:002008-10-02T18:32:00.000-05:00It's actually a little more complex than that, but...It's actually a little more complex than that, but that's a good start (and more than many ever need to know):<BR/><BR/>Attribute values of type FrameTarget must begin with a letter in the range A-Z or a-z, with the exception of the following special values that begin with an underscore:<BR/><BR/> * _blank renders the link in a new, unnamed window<BR/> * _self renders the link in the current frame (useful for overriding a BASE TARGET)<BR/> * _parent renders the link in the immediate FRAMESET parent<BR/> * _top renders the link in the full, unframed window<BR/><BR/>In HTML 4, the TARGET attribute value is case-insensitive, so that _top and _TOP both have the same meaning. However, most browsers treat the TARGET attribute value as case-sensitive and do not recognize _TOP as having the special meaning of _top.<BR/><BR/>Source: http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/values.html#frametargetHolly Jahangirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034708581256314628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179114314622312316.post-27751110271410620542008-08-27T11:13:00.000-05:002008-08-27T11:13:00.000-05:00Genius!

I've gotten into html a little bit since starting my blog, and I'd figured out how to set the link text that appears on the blog. But I'd never even thought of this! Based on Lillie's comment, I might start out using them sparingly, but I'm glad to know how to do it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638584737109705999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179114314622312316.post-82919104641611497422008-08-26T13:29:00.000-05:002008-08-26T13:29:00.000-05:00I follow the same practice of opening new browser ...I follow the same practice of opening new browser windows for external links and using the same window for internal links. <BR/><BR/>There have been some interesting discussions about this issue on some of the "authority" blogs. The consensus seems to be that techies don't like the new window command—they know how to open a new window themselves if they want it. However, readers who are less Internet-savvy prefer new windows because they get lost trying to find their way back to where they started. Although I consider myself reasonably Internet-savvy, I prefer new windows. And since most of my readers aren't techies, I think they prefer new windows as well.<BR/><BR/>WordPress lets you choose the target of a link when you write the post without having to go into the HTML.Lillie Ammannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851121176224654240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179114314622312316.post-14120070330614370222008-08-26T11:14:00.000-05:002008-08-26T11:14:00.000-05:00Not at all a bucket of mush!
