Get an outside link to open in new window

crockny

Hi - I added a link to a photo gallery where I have a print on exhibition but it closes out my website when clicked - how do I get it to open a new page?

You need to add the target="_blank" here:

<a href="YourURLHere" target="_blank">Your Text Here</a>

Thanks -- it shows up and works in the HTML box but I want it under some text in my text box ... I also want to change the color of the text ...

Do you have a link to the page?

For that you just need to select the text that you want to be a link, then hit this:

http://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-xpBmLs2/0/M/i-xpBmLs2-M.jpg

That will open up an option where you can put the url you want that text to point to and it has the option at the bottom to open it in a new window.

Ah yes, thanks Smug Eric!

Do you know how I can change the text color of the link?

Smug Eric

this in a css content block should do it:

.sm-widget-text a span {
color: red;
}

For just this page, try this.

.sm-user-ui .sm-page-node-BdFHn .sm-page-widget-text a {
    color:#fff ;
    }    

.sm-user-ui .sm-page-node-BdFHn .sm-page-widget-text a:hover, 
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-node-BdFHn .sm-page-widget-text a:active, 
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-node-BdFHn .sm-page-widget-text a:visited {
    color:#ccc ;
    }
