Do you mean something like this?

Go here and click on their example:
http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/full-screen.html

or, do you mean something that opens in a "new window",
keeping your original window open?

Not recommended to do -- it will not only anger users (myself included) it may not also work -- as this requires javascript, and javascript may not be turned on. I would let the user decide how his window should be -- but if you still decide to go with this, search the javascript forum, I'm sure it's been asked many times before:)

I think I'm getting it now ...

You can do an outside link to another site:
<a href="http://www.google.com"> Click here for Google </a>

But you can't link to a page within your web site:
<a href="myotherpage.html"> Click here for my other page </a>

Is this what you mean?

Maybe your other page ends up being in a different directory?

The page is in a directory called "gallery" within my current directory:
<a href="/gallery/myotherpage.html"> Click here for my other page </a>


Once I'm in the page "myotherpage.html", I need to get back:
<a href="../index.html"> Click here for the main page </a>

... maybe I'm just not understanding the question :o
