I need some help with html code. I am setting up an index page with a table filled with about 80 thumbnail photos.

How do I code in html to open the image in a new window? People will forget to right click and choose open in new window even if it is stated right where they can see it, and if they hit the back button, they may have to wait for the whole table to load again which will be at least 1360+ KB which is a lot for dialup users.

If it is too complicated, I'll try to figure out another way. I tried to look at the source code for how news articles are done here on FR, but there is a page with a link that comes up that says in a few moments you will be redirected to. I don't want that. I just want to go directly to the larger photo from the thumbnail without losing the index page.

Bump, things scroll off so fast I'm afraid no one who knows what I need will see it.

I'm trying this; it might be a good template for opening a link in a new window. Let's see: Sarge's Spot Yep, that works. Okay, so it goes like this:

(instead of "(" and ")", use "<" and ">")

(a target="_blank" href="WEB ADDRESS HERE">WHAT YOU WANT THE LINK TO SAY HERE(/a)
