Thank You

darrylrixon - You need to add code tags, cause filters have blocked out your post.

How do you add code tags?

[code]

Figured it out how to display the code

Figured it out how to display the code - just need to know how to make it open in a new window

target=_blank bit does that.

Where to in insert that please?

Hello.
If you are using this script:



Not too sure why your adding it in that piece of coding though because script src just loads a script file, it's not an actual link to somewhere else.

The bit I showed you comes after the href link, so the new script will be:



target=_blank always goes after the link bit.

Its not showing your edited link?

Whoopsie. Fixed now.

Actually, Belahzur, your tag may spawn errors.

Correct Syntax (All browsers):


Result:
Google!

You could also do the following if you don't want to you use the target attribute (which isn't standards-compliant in XHTML 1.0 strict or XHTML 1.1):



Delete the ~ before use though, I had to put that in or this site would've filtered "onclick" out.

I've tested this approach in Opera 10, FF 3.6, IE8, and Safari 3, but I'm pretty sure it works in most browsers being used today.

You could also wire up this behavior unobtrusively.

Something to watch for is the "Quirks mode". In other words, you need to make sure you find an option that works well. What I used to do is, I had different versions of what I needed to do based on the browser. I also didn't user browser version to do things because it may not always see the right browser you are using. Instead I would use different syntax if I really had to make sure it needs to work without making visitors mad. So if this doesn't work do this or do this etc.
I think quirks mode is the biggest problem with the browsers. Google it, I don't know what links I am allowed to post here.

P.S. I also like SomeDude's approach.

If you want to use html code correctly you should use html tutorials.
