I am using iframe to display an ad on my homepage. I don't want this ad's site to open up in the same window than my homepage, it should open in it's own new tab. So where in my code do I put the target = "_blank"? My code for the iframe is: <td width="120" height="152" align="center" valign="middle"><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=httpwwwpnskry-20&o=1&p=6&l=bn1&mode=books&browse=17&fc1=000000&lt1=&lc1=3366FF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="120" height="150" border="0" frameborder="0" style="border:none;" scrolling="No"></iframe></td> Please could somebody help me? |

you cant, its down to the page inside the iframe - which you do not have access to. Though i am sure amazon let you choose this when you create the code for the advert ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |

Thanks for replying, Scot. I am sure that was Amazon's intention, not very nice, hey? Ok, so what to do? Choose another similar add that doesn't use iframe? |

Thanks MrTWS, I tried that and it works very nicely, except that my image is now not dynamic anymore. I have selected The Shack as image and link and thus this is now the same all the time. My previous link had the books changing all the time. |

Sorry, MrTWS, what do you mean by forum address? This forum? |

as i said, look at the Amazons Affiliates center. When you create the advert banner code, they should give you an option to open in a new window or not. If they dont then there is nothing you can do, because you do not have access to Amazons page inside the frame. ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |

Ok, I will go back to the Amazon Affiliates center and see if they give me a choice, but I don't think so. Thanks, will do that. |
