Opening Links in Layers

[Shannon]

Say I have my links on the left side of the screen, but I want them to open up in a layer on the right side of the screen. How would I do that? I've already tried adding an id="test" attribute to my layer and then using that in my target attribute for my link (target="_test"). That doesn't seem to work though.

Hi Shannon...

a quick thumb through one of my trusty textbooks says this is how it is done....

<layer id="test">
...

then to load a link into that you just:

<a href=".." target="test">

leave out the underscore...theyre window identifiers...not layer properties..
