   I believe I already answered your question in your other thread.

   The completely non-standards-compliant way of doing this is to add the target="_blank" attribute to your links like so:

   <a href="www.sitedomain.com" target="_blank">Link</a>

   To do it in a standards-compliant way, you'll need to use some javascript like I outline in my tutorial here.

   ???

   You add target="_blank" to your link code like I showed in the example above. So, if you want a link to yahoo to open in a new window you'd write:

   <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">external link to Yahoo</a>

    No you type whatever you want to be visible to the reader.

    Give an example of a link you'd like to write.
