I need it to open a new window!!

22 years ago

Hello! I am in the process of designing a website using frames. I've never used frames before and quite honesty I don't really know anything about it.

The first "column" on my page is where I have my "links" located. When you click on the link, it brings up the page, but it's only the left side of the page. If you want to see the whole page you have to keep scrolling over. How do I make it to where when you click on the link it opens up an entirely different window all together?

THANKS!!

Mac

first off here is the code used in the left frame so that the pages open in the right frame.

[a href="frame2.html" target="frame2"]Frame 2[/a][br]
[a href="page1.html" target="frame2"]Page 1[/a][br]
[a href="page2.html" target="frame2"]Page 2[/a]

replace the [ and ] with

to open a new window the code looks like this

[a href="page1.html" target="blank"]Page 1[/a]

(a href="link.htm" TARGET="_blank")your link(/a)

will open a file called link.htm in a new window

(a href="link.htm" TARGET="name_of_frame")your link(/a)

will open a file called link.htm in the frame with the name "name_of_frame".

Hope this helps a little,

otherwise take a look at the link below with great info for a beginner in HTML.

just to let you what Im doing now. I use those black tubes filled with bees wax,they react reel slow,and if they dont have sun on them they dont work, What I have done is put one of those long light bulbs right next to the tubes wrap them in foil paint them black, and when the thermo asks for cool the lights come on make heat and walla,but in real cold weather it dont work so good,in summer its warm and they open in about 15 se. sometimes they are already open a little. the lights are on a reostat to control for weather conditions, cool uh

Many replacement contractors can create new openings. Be sure they have the necessary skills to perform that particular type of work. Simply asking if they can do that will usually suffice. Most companies avoid headaches so if its something they are uncomfortable with, they will tell you. This not only requires creating a new opening but installing a header. A great question to ask a prospective contractor is whether or not the new opening requires a header. If he says no, simply move on to another guy. although most experienced window contractors can do this and its simple, it is very labor intensive and can be costly.

Thanks. Any pictures would just be of the exterior right now as I am in the process of interviewing contractors to do the work, and trying to better understand what to ask and expect. The challenge I am seeing is how they will get access to the stucco paper since it will not easily be exposed (stucco covering it) unless they remove part of the stucco as well.
