How to Open a Link in a New Window?
The pages that you visit on the web contain links to other pages. Unless the author of the page has targeted the link to a new window, the new page will normally open in the existing browser window. This targeting of the link is under the control of the page author (they would define a link to open in a new window by specifying target="_blank" within the code for the link).
Sometimes, you may want to open a link in a new window even though the author of the page has not coded their page to work that way.
Internet Explorer (and Opera) give you the opportunity to override the page default in this instance and to force the linked page to open in a new window. All that you have to do in this instance is to hold down the shift key while clicking on the link that you want to have open in a new browser window.
