Links in stickynotes - 87 views

  Say, last March, I wrote a story called "Marginalia in the Library of Babel." http://writerresponsetheory.org/wordpress/about/mark-marino/marginalia-in-the-library-of-babel/
  
  It worked by offering a story in the stickynotes on a group of pages. To navigate the pages (and to keep people in the story), I added navigation buttons with simple links to the subsequent bookmarked pages. Clicking an arrow took you to the next bookmark.
  
  Now, when you click a link, the new page loads in the Sticky note, not in the original page's window. Of course, the Stickynote is too small for the page. Can I still use Stickynotes to help people get to other pages?
  
  Thanks,
  Mark

  You can add a target to the anchor tag. Ex.:
  
  LINK
  
  The values you can use are:
  _blank
  _self
  _parent
  _top
  
  I added a sticky note here as an example. This isn't an ideal solution, because not everyone would know how to do this, or think of it. (I had to search my memory banks, and then Google, to recall the html!) Could the old way be restored?
