< A HREF="..." Target="..." >

  • Target="_new" will open the link in a new brower window.
  • Target="_top" will open the link in a full page (where the previous page is framed).
  • Target="xxx" , where 'xxx' is the name given to the frame, will direct the browser to open the link on the frame as named by 'xxx'



    • Turning off link underlining

    Include this paragraph under the "< HEAD >":
    < STYLE > A { text-decoration: none; } < /STYLE >

    This will cause all the text links within that page to be without underlining.
    To have only certain text links without underlining, include 'class=abc' in the '< a href... >' code (eg, < a class=abc href="....." >), where 'abc' is a name given to that particular link and will have to be declared in the '< STYLE >' as 'A.abc { text-decoration: none;}'


    Automatic refresh/redirect of web page

    Using the 'META' tag, current or new page can be refreshed/redirected automatically after a period of time as specified by the author.

    To refresh the current page:
    < META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="time" >, where 'time' is number of seconds.
    To redirect to another page:
    < META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="time;URL=url" >, where 'url' is web address of the page that will be redirected to.
