 Posted: Sun May 22, 2005 1:35 pm Help Please!!! |

I am making my site using frames. I have a titlebar frame at the top, a frame at the side with links for other parts of my site, and a larger frame in the center that holds the info the page is holding.
my problem is that when i click a link from the frame on the side it opens the link inside that frame. I need a way for a link to not open a link in the frame, but to open a whole new page. Can i do this? |

Try adding
to the a href tag
If you are working in XHTML strict, create a js file:
| Code: |
function externalLinks() {
if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0; i<anchors.length; i++) {
var anchor = anchors[i];
if (anchor.getAttribute("href") &&
anchor.getAttribute("rel") == "external")
anchor.target = "_blank";
}
}
window.onload = externalLinks; |
and name it external.js
Now add this to your webpage
| Code: |
<script type="text/javascript" src="/external.js">
</script> |
And then to apply it:
| Code: |
| <a href="http://www.loud800.com" rel="external"> |

You should add
to the hyperlink you want to open in the new window.
For example, if you have
| Code: |
| <a href="http://www.cnn.com">CNN</a> |
you would add:
| Code: |
| <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cnn.com">CNN</a> |

| Change the target to the name of the frame you want it to open in |
