Page Linking

I am linking to an external "Mapping Site" and what that link to create a new page that does not overlay the existing Page that linked to the external site. Currently the Page linked too replaces the data on the existing Page. How do I keep the current Page displayed while linking to new Page?

Thanks

I sounds like you want to open the link into a new web browser window.

To do this in a new 'fully functional' and 'full sized' browser window, then user Target="_new" in your link.
<a href="somewhere" target="_new">
or, if you want to control the size of the browser that opens, so the new browser window won't take up the entire monitor screen., then use the window.open javascript function
<a href="javascript:window.open('somewhere', 'name of page', 'width=400px, height=400px')">
Where you want the new window to be only 400 wide by 400 tall.

hope this helps

Perhaps did you try using frames?
