SPATIAL WEBMASTER TIPS
Every month in this column I give away some of my secrets. Not really secrets, but I only share these resources
with selected people... like SpatialNews subscribers! If you manage a website or spend alot of time on-line then the resources that I share with you here
are guaranteed to make your surfing more enjoyable.
This month I thought I'd relay some html tips for anyone who authors web pages and wants to create some effects that are a little more
advanced then simply hyperlinking to various images and documents.
You may notice while surfing that occasionally, you follow a hyperlink and a new browser window pops up automatically.
Generally the reason for this is so you can easily return to the referring website without having to repeatedly hit the back button.
There's a couple of ways that you can accomplish this.
The first way is to use the "Target" function.
For example: a href="http://www.geocomm.com" target="blank"
This will open The GeoCommunity website in a new browser window.
If you want to get a bit fancier you can open the linked site in a new window, set the window size, and disable some
of the browser features such as the menubar and toolbar. The following code will open a new window 640x440 in size, with
no toolbar and no menubar.
Click Here for Example
a href="section13.html"
onClick="window.open ('http://www.geocomm.com','Remotea',
'width=640,height=440,scrollbars=yes,
toolbar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes')"
This is handy if you want to make sure that visitors remain at your site.
