PDF in Robert's Splash Page

JeffreyUtter — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 19:09:59 GMT

I've modified Robert's Splash page to include 4 tabs, one of which is a "How To Use".
I've created a separate PDF on the subject and having trouble coding it so that when the User clicks on the words, a new window opens up with PDF.
Here is my code so far.
Thanks.

OK, it works, and many thanks....... but how can it open a new window, instead of the same window?

Jeffrey,

Put target="_blank" in your anchor tag I.e:

<a href= "http://flex.greatbearpetro.com/How To Use Flex.pdf" target="_blank">How To Use</a>

Regards

Anthony
