ted, Yes, I understood the question and I understand how to do what Scumbria was asking, but I don't understand how what you were saying is different from what I am saying, or to put it in other words, I don't understand the difference between the url address and the code you cited. Its the posting of the link or url address that causes a new window to pop up. All the messages we post here are presented as HTML documents (controlled by SI) to the requester's browser. That is, when a post is requested by an user, SI generates an HTML document embedding the post's content with other SI stuff with HTML tags. To see what I mean, next time when you are reading a message, right click on your mouse and select "view Source". When a given post has links in it, SI wraps the links with Anchor tags - <A ... > user_provided_link </A>. The '...' portion within the <A ...> tag will contain the URL specified by the user with some additional qualifiers if any are needed. This is where SI can control how the link gets opened - in a new window or in the current window, etc., using 'target=' qualifier. Hope this helps. Goutama
