    Default Hyperlinking to an image in product detail

    My site is located at www.aaadisplaygroup.net/shop until it is completed. In my product detail pages I have links to 3D views, Product Sheets, Setup Instructions, etc. These links were created using hypertext as in the following example: http://www.aaadisplaygroup.net/shop/...roducts_id=187
    In the above example each link opens in a new window as instructed using the add link tool.

    Rather than using text, I added button-like images to make it look a bit more professional. http://www.aaadisplaygroup.net/shop/...roducts_id=186

    I added hyperlinks to the images exactly as I did using text, however, the links will not open new windows even though that option is selected. In the edit window, when I select the image to confirm its setting, the link and its attributes are not there. However, if I view the source the hyperlinks are there. Can anyone tell me how to force the links to open in a new window?

    I will be using this same technique for about 100 products so I need to get it right before I duplicate a mistake hundreds of times. Any alternative suggestions are welcome.

    If you are meaning adding these in the product description area try this adding the target balnk:

    Code:
    <a href="http://domain.com"  target="_blank"><img src="path/image.jpg" alt="Text" </a>

    Default Re: Hyperlinking to an image in product detail

    Thank you so much! I added the "target blank" command and it works great. Sometimes I just can't see the forest for the trees. I "thought" I compared the sources carefully but I guess I didn not look inside the links.

    Although this is a workaround, don't you think we should have be able to do this using the "add link" function just as I did using text. Should that be reported as a bug and if so where?

    Again, thanks TONS!

    Without looking, I do not know if this is an available option or not - only a 'bug' if it is an option and is not functioning otherwise it is a 'feature wanted'
