Hi,

I want to create a link in the category description that when its is clicked on - a new page appears ina new browser window, so keeping the original page behind the new one.

ie a popup - or in plain html target=blank
Now, I know that I can use bb code-but I can't find anything that solves this.

Here's a link to an online tutorial - http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/linking/_A_TARGET_95y98y108y97y110y107y.html. Pretty straightforward.

[EDIT] - Use Nibbler's link to be standard compliant.
Did you read the manual first???? Taking 2 minutes to backup your files can save you hours of wondering what you screwed up.

Thanks for the replies.

I'll work on it, but right now having troublke with what should go where.

You can't use <html>. The bbcode that is allowed can be found in the docs: 4.10 Using bbcode to insert links and special formatting in various description fields

Yes thanks - I do undersatnd that [honest] - I was hoping that i could create links in the Cat Description that when clicked on - opened in a new window - specifically in the Cat Description  - but I assume I cannot do that. The links I have created now as you can see, open in the same browser window.. its a personal thing .. but never mind.
