I have a PDF brochure which I have a link from my website.
tastingplaces.com
When you click on the the link the pdf brochure opens but when you close the pdf brochure it closes the whole website. I remember being taught how to put a link in so that when the new page/pdf doc is closed it goes back to the website.
can you help?

RE: Links
Hi Sara
Thank you for your question regarding opening documents.
If I understand you correctly, when you click on the brochure, the PDF opens in the same window that your website is in, effectively replacing your site with the PDF.
On closing the window, your whole site closes.
The solution to this is to open the PDF in a NEW window. This can be done by clicking on the text that is hyperlinked to your brochure in DreamWeaver, and then setting the TARGET property to _BLANK.
This will open a new window and display the PDF when you next click on that text in the Internet Explorer.
Make this change and then test to see if it is working.
I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.
If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another DreamWeaver question?
Have a great day.
Regards,
Richard
