Hi all…

OK Here’s a simple question…I have this website i designed for my “sidework” - i render houses for architects. So i made this incredibly simple website where you can see small samples of my work, then underneath the small sample image, i put in a button that says “Click here for a larger version of this image”…so anyway, i want it to open a new window where you can see the larger image. This is what i put for the button…

on (release) {getURL(“[http://perspectiveart.home.comcast.net/perspectiveone.htm](http://perspectiveart.home.comcast.net/perspectiveone.htm)”,\_blank);

I thought the “\_blank” part would get this to work but its not.

Here is the link to my simple site - [http://perspectiveart.home.comcast.net/](http://perspectiveart.home.comcast.net/)

If you go to the “Perspectives” button, you can see where i have this button underneath the sample images.

Is there a simple solution? I spent way too long working on this incredibly simple website and i am too frustrated to figure it out.

Thanks for any help!
