What would be nice would be able to specify a target - either '_blank', '_parent' or some other named target. Defaulting to '_blank' maybe.

If not a target of '_blank' seems the preferred option to me.

Ignoring the fact that it tends to be frowned on ... addition of

target="_blank"

to the link code would suffice?

Hello Tony

I see what you mean. Users need to know to hold down the shift or ctrl button when clicking on the links to avoid the NBN Gateway webpage opening directly in the iframe. This is not ideal and I have passed on your query to the NBN Gateway developers to see what they suggest

I'm using the species map and acknowledgement services from release 4.2 a la http://gis.nbn.org.uk/arcgis/atlas/SingleSpeciesMap/NHMSYS0000459714/

My understanding of the terms and conditions is that I need to show the acknowledgements along with the map. Currently I'm displaying the two results in two iframes on the same web page. All appears to be working fine.

However, when I click on a link in the acknowledgements it is opening up the NBN page within the iframe, which doesn't look so good.

I'm not aware of any other way of showing the map and acknowledgements on the same page without using iframes. Is there a recommended way of using the acknowledgements?

Thanks
