How do I open pop up links in a new window?
Depending on how you have things set up, you may not want opt-in forms or links within your pop ups to open in the existing pop up window because it’s just too small.
The solution is to have your forms and/or links open in a new window, by adding `target=”_blank”` to your forms and links where appropriate.
For example, if you have a form tag that looks like this:
`((form action=”foo.php” method=”POST”))`
You just change it to this:
`((form action=”foo.php” method=”POST” target=”_blank”))`
Now when the form is submitted, the next page will open in a new full-size browser window for the best user experience.
You may want to do the same thing with links as well. For example if you have a link that looks like this:
`((a href=”foo.php”))click here((/a))`
You just change it to this:
`((a href=”foo.php” target=”_blank”))click here((/a))`
Just like with the form, this will cause your links to open in a new full-size window.
If you don’t have access to the HTML code for your pop up page to do any of this, you’ll have to rely on your content management system or page builder.
Look for options to open a form and/or a link in a new window, which most decent platforms will support.
If you can’t figure it out you may want to consult their documentation or customer support as they are best able to help you with the specifics.
