I was doing some research on topics that visitors were searching for on my blog and at www.WebsiteSpot.com<\/a> and found that quite a few people are looking for a way to get hyperlinks to open in a new window.<\/p>\n

This is actually a very simple snippet of HTML code. A hyper link allows you to create a link from a webpage to another webpage in your website or to a completely different website.<\/p>\n

Basic Hyperlink<\/h2>\n

The code to use is:<\/p>\n

<a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitespot.com\">Domain Name Registration<\/a><\/p>\n

The link would appear as: Domain Name Registration<\/a><\/p>\n

Creating Hyperlinks To Open In A New Window<\/h2>\n

If you create a link but would like to open a new browser window once it's clicked you can simply add a little more code to accomplish this. I've highlighted the additional code below.<\/p>\n

<a target=\"_blank\" <\/strong>href=\"https:\/\/www.websitespot.com\">Domain Name Registration<\/a><\/p>\n

The link would appear as Domain Name Registration<\/a> but would open a new window when clicked.<\/p>\n

That's it, if you're using a WYSIWYG editor such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver you probably won't need this know this code because you can simply click a button that tells the hyperlink to open in a new window but it certainly doesn't hurt to know.<\/p>\n
