    Hi!

    Below the Google Map in the footer, there is a link to a larger map. This link is in a dark blue which is hard to read on the dark background of the footer. Also, it opens in the same window.

    How can I
    • change the color of the link and
    • make the large map open in a new tab or window?

    Thanks in advance!

    Mike

    Thanks, Harmeet. I already found the solution over the weekend.

    All I had to do was change the color specification (in hex) within the string I had received from maps.google.com.
    I also needed to empty my browser's cache before the new color would show.

    Adding a target="_blank" attribute will open that larger map in a new tab or window. See http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

    Sorry to have troubled you! Hopefully this information will be useful to others, too, and save them some searching and experimenting.

    Thanks again,

    Mike
