Hello again

I am using FF and just wondering about linking: We are co-branded now with some companies so on our page when linking to our co-branded page using "Self" is fine it works ok BUT now using that type link they are off our site. Does anyone use "Blank" to open in a new page OR what is "Top" and or "Parent" ? What would someone recommend if they were linking to an outside page?? As in the past any help is really appreciated.

I would use blank. I haven't used parent since around 2000, when framesets were so very popular. I've never used top. Not even sure what it does.

Inger Thank you once again for your help, I was thinking about that I feel this way at least our page is still open and they can just x the other one without losing ours. I have never used frame sets at all an if what I did read Top is almost same as Blank ??? But I am probably wrong

You use blank when linking to an external page if you want to keep your website available on another tab.

Thanks also Webby that is what I thought and Inger also verified it. I added Blank to some links and working the way it should. Again Thank you.
