New window

[wanapitei]

Most of the time I like to maintain the same window with links. But there are occasions when I'd like a new window appear, leaving the current window in place, one layer behind. Is there syntax available to modify the following to force the creation of a new window when clicked?


We invite your <a href="../contactUs.html">comments</a>.

Appreciated.

We invite your <a target="_blank" href="../contactUs.html">comments</a>.


or



We invite your <a onclick="return window.open(this.href);" href="../contactUs.html">comments</a>.


Hope this helps.

Works as desired.




We invite your <a onclick="return window.open(this.href);" href="../contactUs.html">comments</a>.


This one has the side effect of not only opening a new window with the desired page, but also switching the original window to this page as well, not desired in this case.

Kind regards,

For that second one, I typed it in wrong. It should be like so:



We invite your <a onclick="window.open(this.href); return false" href="../contactUs.html">comments</a>.
