Re: how do i setup hyperlinks in publisher 2003 to open in a new w

Hi
the reason I was trying to use javascript was this was what it said to use
in the microsoft.com help pages for doing this in publisher 2003 :-)
Q. How do I make my hyperlink open the URL in a new browser window?
A. Launching a new window is done by using the target attribute of the
link. Publisher does not have any support for this. Meaning there is no way
to code a target when linking within Publisher. The workaround is to use the
HTML Code Fragment feature and code the link yourself, including the desired
target. As such:
To open a new window per target:

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.domain.com";>Link Text</a>

To re-use the window you launched on each target use:

<a target="_display" href="http://www.domain.com";>Link Text</a>

Can you explain in more detail what i need to do here as i tried adding this
in and it still doesnt seem to work

http://www.babyboos.com/a%20target=%22_blank%22%20href=%22http:/www.domain.com%22%3eLink%20Text%3c/a

is the message i get when i click on the link now
