Hello,

as it is possible to use window names in the target attribute of a link, it would be convenient to name a window without javascript too.

Does anybody know a solution in pure html?

Thanks in advance for your answers ,

Yes it's possible. Here's an example

<a href = "link1" target="window1">Link 1</a>
<a href = "link2" target="window1">Link 2</a>
<a href = "link3" target="window2">Link 3</a>

When you click link 1, window1 will opens. When you click link2, window1 will loads link2. When you click link 3, another window will opens.

Shure,

but my problem is, how to name the window, before you use the link from the other document in the other window. I need to do this without javascript.

Please excuse my english, as it is not my native language.

ohhh I understand your question now. I'm not sure if you can do that with HTML

Yes, so do I, but maybe there is someone, who knows more than I do.
