Take that, IE.

By Donovan Chee · July 12, 2007

After an infuriating setback (I am SO getting a MAC), I've gotten all but one of my reviews hotlinked to pictures on my Myspace page.

Now I just need to figure out how to code it so that they open in a new window. . .

But anyway, hopefully that should increase my hit count. Thanks, Felix. : )

Well, in HTML it's [a href="www.link.com" target="_blank"]. Just replace the brackets with html tags. Of course, Myspace may be different. I wouldn't really know since I never use it but that might help you get on the right track.

I don't think I've got my mind enough around the concept yet to use that one; and I wouldn't know how to add it into the tags that I've already setup. ;_;

It's pretty easy. It just goes into the a href tag you already use to make the link. Let's use an example. Let's say you want to make your blog avatar link to your FFXII review (I'm just using the first pictures I see). So, using html tags instead of brackets, you'd use something like so:

[a href="http://www.honestgamers.com/systems/content.php?console_i..." target="_blank"][img src="http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/4401/standguardfortheh..."][/a]

For a result like this:

It's really just a matter of replacing the URLS you want with the URLS up there. The important part is the target=_blank part in the a href tag, which is what will make it open in a new window. (Or tab, for Firefox users)
