Offsite link opens new window

[L Leigh Dee]

Howdy all,
I'm greener than green on Java, but hope to change that SOON.
I have been looking for code to make another window open when an offsite link is clicked, not finding any and having limited luck with what I do find on varibles I don't know what to do with...so I've now decided to learn Java so I can do the writting of it myself....weeeeeeeeee. But in the mean time...I still need the code! ...ahhhhhh can ANYONE help me with this, I haven't a CLUE where to start, except the beginning.
Thanks,
From A Green Java Bean :roll:

So do you want to do this from html, an applet, or from an application, or a java Server Page.
What HAVE you been working with?

[L Leigh Dee]

Oh sorry....I did neglect to put that didn't I??....I have been doing HTML, I want to learn JAVA. Hence me being here!
I not sure WHAT would be best the HTML or an applet. I've only been doing even the HTML since Feb. so I'm not exactly "ripe" in that area either!!
Did I mention GREEN??....laffin

You might be confused. If you're dealing with a plain HTML page and just want to open a new window with the page that anlink points to then you're probably looking for javascript instead of plain java.
If, as Cindy mentioned, you're working with applets then yes, Java is what you want.

Thanks Dave,
But I don't think "MIGHT be confused" is quite appropreate, where as TOTALLY or COMPLETELY confused would fit me to a tee at any given time of the day!
Applets are something I WANT to be able to eventually do, but FOR NOW if anyone has even some javaSCRIPT they could toss my way that would be helpful.
I eventually want to do full JAVA programs etc...but for the "offsite link opens new window" it could be ANYTHING ...piglatin if it would just work!.....laffin
Anyay thanks for suffering me folks!
bear in mind GREEN......

You might not need javascript. Try this: <A href="[link to open]" target="_top">[link name] </a>
option "_blank" should be able to open new browser window for you.

Or you can do it another way by looking at my pop up window generator which does all of the coding for you
