Experiment with the HTML tags <details> and <summary>

Another option: the 'accordion'.

Hi,

What is a good way to view another's link inside of one of my pages?

I would like a guide back to my page where the link was clicked on.

I had once used the <iframe> mechanism to embed third party pages on
my pages. I used it like this (for example)

<iframe width="1000" height="725" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://www.openstreetmap.org/export/embed.html?[...snip...]" style="border: 1px solid black">

You cannot change the third party pages. But if you embed it as shown
with iframe then you're still in your domain and can do what you like.

Select the link to visit the other Web page. When done, select the Back
button on your browser to return to your own page. If that does not
work, the link is to a redirect, and you should not embed the link in
your Web page.

It is best just to use a simple link with a warning that it leaves your
site.

Forcing a new tab/window is rude as it can cause problem.

Using a frame could cause security issue (not sure about this).

On the other hand, voluntarily using a new tab/window is the simplest way
for the user to keep his way back open.

Yes. And, actually, as a visitor, I find it even the most desired
behavior to have an "external" (non-local) link open a new tab.
(Opening a new window I'd consider invasive, though.) - I guess
that opinions on that may vary.

Thank You Everyone,

I am looking into iframe on W3Schools.

I think I did this before.

How would you suggest iframe on a line of three links like this:

<p><a href="https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta">Meta?</a> -|-
<a href="https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics">Physics?</a> -|-
<a href="https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics">Metaphysics?</a></p>

Here is iframe on W3Schools

https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.ASP

They show using it in a CSS, I have a CSS

https://www.dalekelly.org/mystyle.css

I have different iframes I think to do

1) a single link
2) a single link with an icon
3) a line with multiple links
4) a line with multiple links with each link having an icon

Can I do four kinds in my CSS ?

If I just code an iframe the frame shows up with no title link to click
on first:

<iframe src="https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta" title="Meta"></iframe>

I see this is good some places but in others I would rather click on a
title link before a frame comes up.

Ideas?

You can do some fancy hide/show stuff with JavaScript. There are
frameworks, like JQuery, that offer effects beyond those available in
straight CSS, e.g. expand/collapse.
