You lost me when you moved from images to hyperlinks. Are you trying to just put image placeholders on the specific page and have them display in a new window when you do a mouseover of the placeholder?
Whether a link opens in a new page or in the same page may be a browser setting. A hyperlink takes you to whereever reference address you put in it. That can be on a completely different server in another network, another server in the same network, a different page on the same site, or a different location on the same page. It just depends on the address you include in the a href (oops! it thinks I'm trying to create a hyperlink if I type the coding)
I certainly think that you posted this in the incorrect category as it has nothing to do with Spanish, let alone Vocabulary or Grammar.

Informative, but when I read the original post I thought he didn't want to clog his page up with the Daffy Duck picture and was trying to accomplish that by just putting the picture links on his page or placeholders rather than the actual picture. That is why I think he wants to open the picture (Daffy Duck) in a separate window. Maybe I was mistaken.
In other words, he would not want to use the image as the display text part of his link as you did.

Of course he might live with a smaller picture as a link to open a larger picture in a separate windlow. We need to hear from Harry to know exactly what he's trying to do.

Does he just want a text link? Something like What DID he tell you?

No he doesn't want a thumbnail either. I have already discussed that with him.

Thankyou everybody for your helpI will put the code I use but that is for photobucket but I think I can get it to work on Photos downloaded to this site. La pod when you insert an image to your page from YOUR computer direct it becomes hosted on this site. Once you know where it is located I'm sure you can just drag it up in a new window with a link that opens in a new window

If they ever tell you where photos are stored on this server and provide you with access to them, please let me know. Several people have asked how to make flashcards with picture prompts. The key is to be able to upload pictures to this server and then provide links to them as prompts. We can't do that at the present, because we don't have accesss to photo file strorage on this server.
If you tried to use pictures stored on another server (like Photobucket's) the addresses are too long for the prompts and they would take forever to load and display on the card. I don't even think preloading them would help.

Harry, did you get your question answered? To merely make a link open a new window (rather than opening on the current page), the code is as follows:
a href="blah-blah-blah" target=new
You can just type the "target=new" into the "a" tag that is generated by the link button.
Not sure if that's what you were asking'''

Ian,
The link Christopher posted below lists companies that sell Domain names. For receiving payments for DVD's there are lots of payment services out there like PayPal. It been a while since I used FrontPage (I thought Expressions had replaced it), but if you created your site with extended XHTML or Extended Java, etc. you are going to have to support those languages on your server.
When you publish it on line check it with several different browsers to see how it looks unless you do most things server side rather than client side. Let us know the url so we can check it out. Best of luck.
