Hi im not sure if this is the right place to put this, if it is then sorry. I was wondering whether it was possible to open lots of different URLs, from one link or button? Like string all the URLs together or something, and have each URL open in a new window. If anybody can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You may want to ask this in the JavaScript category, as that will most likely be the solution. I'm not too handy with JavaScript, so I will leave this to the experts.

Errr... wouldn't that be incredibly annoying for the user?

Yes, it's possible, but as Minaki said, I wouldn't recommend it . It might annoy your users.

In any case if you want to try it out, here's a way:

Code:

<BODY>

<a href='#' onclick='openWindows()'>click me</a>

</BODY>

</HTML>


<script language="Javascript">

function openWindows()
{
window.open("http://www.antaramedia.com","window1", "");
window.open("http://www.yahoo.com","window2", "");
window.open("http://www.google.com","window3", "");
}

</script>

Hope you get the idea.

I thought it was possible just to put:

<a href="site1.htm","site2.htm","site3.htm"></a>

I never heard of that so I tried it and it didn't work

...But hey, I've ben developing websites for nearly 12 years and, every once in a while, I run across something that makes me feel like a total idiot for not knowing ;-)

thanks for the code etc. I agree it may be annoying. Basically its for a vote for me button. People click the vote 4 me button, then all my topsites open. However, i was wondering if mayb my site could b submitted but no window appearing?... thanks
