How to get submissions opened in parent not 'self'
When a link is submitted and then a visitor clicks on that link - I want it opened in a 'parent' browser not the same one ie 'self'.

How can this be changed?

Any ideas!

regards
Shawn

Use target attribute in your link.html file:

EXAMPLE:

Code:

<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>" target="newwin"><%Title%></a>

Hello
I think you mean something like this:
<A HREF="url" TARGET="_parent">name</A>
it will open a new browser window with the new submitted link.

Uh...NO!

newwin value is more interoperatable than using _parent. Earlier versions of AOL do not handle _something. Thus, I use newwin.
