Links

I like the way "links" work in postings!

Could all links (i.e. Sponsors) be made to work the same way?

What specifically about the "way they work" do you like?

In postings ( http://www.marcee.20m.com/ ) another (for me anyways) IE window start/runs with the link.

While on the Sponsors page here, yu just go forward to the next site.

Real point is, to get back you use bakc button with Sponsor; but just close the posting links window.

Sometimes I leave all the posting link open and then look at them one by one after closing E-Zone; kind of like reveing them off line.

Clear????

Ooh, you mean the way it opens another browser window when you click on the link (took me a bit to figure out what you meant). Yeah, I like that feature too, really nice.

You can right-click on any link, and select "open in new window"..

Or just hold down the shift key while clicking the link. That opens up a new window in IE at least.

We try to keep the E Zone pretty simple. Opening up a new window requires javascript, which I stay away from as much as possible.

There are a lot of neat sites on the web but I think you'll notice that the most usable (Yahoo! for example) stay with basic HTML. Fancy decisions like how many browser windows should be open, etc, can be decided by the client program.

Actually there is a HTML code for just that - no need for Java.

< A HREF="URL" TARGET="_blank" > will open the link in a new window, atleast with IE5+.
