Creating a link that doesn't take the visitor to a new page.

Hi. Thanks for looking at my post! Any and all advice is appreciated!

 

I would like to create a link on one of my products page that when the visitor clicks on it, the linked page appears still on the original products page. In other words, this would be the opposite of when a visitor clicks on a link and a new browser window appears and the visitor is no longer on the site.

 

Could this be done?

 

I've messed around with target_blank, target_parent, target_self, etc. But none of these seem to work.

 

Thanks so much. I look forward to your responses.

do you need to popup the info in a popup window, that is easy JS

 

or do you need a named anchor on the same page? easy too

 

be a little more specific, though I think you are wanting a JS popup for the new page, so search google for JS popup and you should be good to go

Thanks Rabbit. No, I dont think I need a pop up or a named anchor.

 

What I would like to do is create a link to another site on one of my products page, and when the visitor clicks on the link, I want the site to show up underneath my header (inside my site), where the products page was before the visitor clicked on the link.

 

Does that make sense? Thanks so much for any help you may have!

well, then you could do this with an iframe and javascript, a little involved but doable

Do you know of another way to have an external link and keep the visitors on your site?

 

Thanks for your advice!
