Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how I can open an external web page in code? I am writing a web app for a client who needs Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest logos (and 1 of their own images) all to be clickable to open other pages. I'd like these to open in a new tab.

How can I do this?

Cheers,
Paul

I also need to open one web page and rather than open it in a new tab, I need to replace the EWB web app that's running. I tried replacing _blank with _self but that didn't work.

Anyone know how to open a page in the current tab?

Thanks,
Paul

My bad, I had 2 places where the web page is opened. I coded one and tested the other. So using _self does work Smile
