External Hyperlinks From Frames Site

[mmm1022]

First, thanks to those who have responded to my questions in the past. You are appreciated.

I have a frames site. It works well in most ways, but I cannot figure out how to hyperlink to webs outside my site without having them show up INSIDE a frame of MY site.

this is what I do to open up a link in a new browser window.. im not even sure if its the correct way of doing it but it works!!

<a href="whatever your link is" target=new>Click Here</a>

Using the "target tags" target="_blank" will open up a new browser.......

Using the target="_top" will open the site in the Same Window, but with a Fresh screen......

Play around with them both.....

One of my favorites is to use a 2 Frame page to send external links to.....

The TOP Frame constist of a SMALL BAR, informing my visitors they have left "MY SITE", and I also have a LINK... for them to return...... USUALLY, 15 PIXELS is plenty for this....

Then in the BOTTOM frame is the actual site..... works good except for sites that use FRAME BREAKER Scripts....

There are scripts out ther to generate these frame pages on the fly, but I usually just make one page for each external link.... Since I usually ask permission before I link to someones site anyway.....

If they are using FRAME BREAKER scripts.... then they usually tell me.... and I just make a target="_blank" link, so my site is still open...... all they do is close their browser.... and they are back....

Lot's O Fun Stuff out there....
