How can I open a new window or tab with hyperlinking

[I have a good question]

How can I open a new window or tab with publisher when I hyperlink to another
website so that my site is not left?

Also is there a way to bookmark the part of the page you are on so that when
you hyperlink to another page or site and you use the back button of the
browser it returns you to the part of the page that you left?

Using the insert html code fragment feature, insert the following snippet
somewhere on your page where it won't be in the way:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">function Show(Url,
Name, Features) { window.open(Url); }</script>

Then insert text or image into your page, right click, insert hyperlink, and
paste the following in the hyperlink dialog:

javascript:Show('http://www.mydomain.com/','')

Thanks Spike, I just need a little more info on how to... If I insert the
javascript into the dialog box - where do I put in the address of the site I
want to link to?

Type the script in the HTML fragment box and put it anywhere on the page out
of the way
The linking code javascript:Show('http://www.mydomain.com/','')
becomes the hyperlink either on text or on an image
mydomain.com is replaced with the address of the page you want to go to with
the new window

One more good question- do I need to change anything in the HTML fragment box
to make this work? I continue to get an error on page when I try my links.
Thanks for the good info so far.

Please post the URL so we can look at the code

Spike,
If I would like to create several hyperlinks on one page to different pdf
flyers in addition to a hyperlink to an external website (URL) should I
insert two different snippets? I have had success hyperlinking to the
external website (URL) bu cannot figure out how to hyperlink the PDFs.
Thanks,
Andy

You do not add more "snippets". You just need to write the javascript link
to the pdf file correctly.

Assuming that you create a subfolder on your website called "downloads" and
upload your pdf file "myfile.pdf" to that subfolder, then the javascript
link code would be:

Show('http://www.mydomain.com/downloads/myfile.pdf','')
