Is there a way to preface a web address so that it opens a new window?

[Aceshigh]

example: I use a portal that I keep my favorite shortcuts on. If I put the url www.yahoo.com in and click on it it uses the same browser window.

Is there a way to put something like XXXwww.yahoo.comXXX and have it open up a new browser window when clicked?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.

Not that I know if by typing it in, but in the link in HTML its possible.

If you can edit the link on the portal page, you can put <a href="http://www.link.xxx" target="_blank">or <"...target="_new"> I don't think there is anything you can put in the browser to open a new window. You could just use ctrl-n to open a new browser, and if it doesn't open up with the address bar highlighted, press ctrl-d to get there. Can't say that this works on any non-windows, non-IE browser setup, but it works for me.

Dunno if this will help, but, if you hold down the shift button when clicking on a link, it'll open up in a new window.

use the target property for the <a>-Tag.

1. Edit the links on the page so that they open a new window. (e.g. <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">

2. Right-click the link and select "Open In New Window". (If you're using IE this works. Not sure about other browsers.)

Sorry to hijaak this thread, but is there a way to pin down the window so it always opens up in the same position? For example, I usually have my IE Window and newsgroup program open at the same time. I then vertically tile the 2 programs so they are side by side. So now the IE window opens from the top left corner of the screen. If I close down and then reopen IE, it opens in the same position. But when I open a New Browser window, it opens up about 10 pixels down and to the right. This happens for all subsequent for each New Browser window opened. This is the same effect as when you select the tile windows option. So is anyone aware of a reg patch or Windows setting or program which will force programs to open up with a preset window size and location?
