Hyperlink Properties

If you are creating an external hyperlink the target shown below will ensure that when the viewer clicks on it the page will display in a new window (the browser is relaunched). This ensures that your site remains behind the new site and is still there if the X (Close) is clicked.

<a href="http://www.javascript.com" target="_blank">www.javascript.com</a>

This can be done in Front page by
 right clicking over an existing hyperlink -
Choosing Page Properties - Click into the pencil where it says Target Frame - Choose New window
