http://fallon.rootschat.net/

Doing a bit of work on the extremely basic site and I was wondering if someone could do me a favour.

I used to have a great little book that helped me write the pages but I've sadly lost it in the house move.  So I don't know if I've done the Meta tags right.

Can a kind soul look at the source on the page linked above and let me know if I've done it right and it would work?  I know it hasn't broken the page so there's a bonus.

Ta,
Pam

Doh I wish I had that book!

My last question.

What is the tag for a URL to open in a new window?

I've done a link to Rootschat using the logo gif ...

a href="http://www.Rootschat.com" img src="Rootschat.gif" /a

With appropriate brackets

But I want the site to open in a new window.

Thanks in advance,
Pam

Re your first post, I think the header meta tags look ok.


If I think I know what you are trying to do  Wink this is a sample code for the second bit.

<a href="www.rootschat.net" target="_blank"><img src="your image url here" width="insert width of image" height="insert height of image" border="0"></a>

or more simply:
<a href="www.rootschat.net" target="_blank"><img src="your image url here"></a>


When someone clicks on the image it will open the rootschat site in a new window

Is that it?

Whahaey.  That's it.

Ta very much.  I obviously haven't used that tag before because I didn't recognise it.

I just wanted to add a prominant link to the home page since thanks to Suttontrusts post regarding Altavista I had a sneeky peek and I was on the first page.

Phew 2 amendments in a day.  I'm exhausted.

Thanks Jonathan  Grin
