Description and Message
The links block, when you click a link the link opens in the parent window.

I want the link to open in a new window.

Can I overcome this by using tags in the ACP where you load links? Or do you have to edit code to fix this?

Open styles/*yourstyle*/template/portal/block/links.html

Find:

Code: Select all

<a href="{link.URL}" title="{link.TEXT}">{link.TEXT}</a>

Replace with:

Code: Select all

<a href="{link.URL}" title="{link.TEXT}" target="_blank">{link.TEXT}</a>

By the way, after this the block will not be XHTML valid anymore.

Ok I am lost on the "valid" issue, please explain.

What issues will that create?

Thanks

Mike I understand the "ideal" behind the validation issue, but my issue was.....I want my window to remain on MY page when I click a link I have created for someone elses page. My site isn't based on a consumer, or retail environment....so I think my question revolved around "Do I care if it validates or not?"

I dont think so.
If it helps, my page isnt valid at all too...
