Useful HTML …Open your links in a new window
Hey Everyone,
I thought I’d share a little bit of easy HTML code with you today. You might want to start a new text document on your desk top and title it “HTML notes tips and crap like that”, or just “HTML”. Your choice. Then just copy ( ctrl C ), paste ( ctrl V ) and save, for an easy to find reference.
How to open your links in a new browser window
To get a link to open in a new browser window, what you do is add the target=”_blank” attribute to your link tag, like this:
<a target=”_blank”href=”http://philsfault.com/blog1“>Opens in a new window</a>
Important!! Make sure you retype the quotes ( ” ) when copy and pasting the above example.
The yellow highlighted parts are your link ( URL ) and your call to action, title, whatever. I used this blog as an example. You can obviously add what ever URL ( link ) you’d like.
This is how it looks on your webpage, blog or on your Splash Page:
I like to play with different HTML codes and tags using this free HTML Editor. Try it, it’s pretty cool.

hmmm, I’ve always used ( _blank”href= ) with no problems. Here, let me try the “space” thingy.
Signup says to add a space
Nope, didn’t seem to work. I like my way better =P.
Let’s discuss this futher, I’ll send you an email.

okay, so “Signup” has me a bit curious about the HTML coding, so I decided to play around a bit in my HTML editor. In the HTML editor I can place a space between ” href and ” http: , and it works just fine. Not sure why I can’t get the same results here :( . The code I used in this post works however, but I can’t figure out how to get the quotes to show up correctly in my example.
I can’t tell my <div. from my rofl and trying to fiddle around with banners is hard enough. I guess I will always be technically impaired. I added you finally to my friends and family blogroll lol. Now working on some business cards to print. I am glad you are posting more regularly now, gives me something to look forward to.
