[SOLVED] open links in new window -- please help

[email protected] · September 28, 2007

I have got a code which open links in the same window. Can someone tell me how to open links in a new window in the script below.

Thanks in advance

<script type="text/javascript">

ok i have no clue what this script is doing, and it is extremely poorly coded.

you need to provide the context for this. what does the script do, whats its purpose. its purpose is not to open a link in the current window. otherwise you cold just use an href.

Strange to find a script on DynamicDrive that's "poorly coded".

@miz_luvly - this is really a third-party script question (and is the answer on the site where you got the script?)
