Advice on affiliate code

Hi I am afraid I have limited HTML experience and am trying to make an affiliate banner work on my site. The problem I have is that when the banner is clicked, it does not open in a new window and tries to open within the frame on the site. Any clues what I need to do to manipulate the code to make the page open in a new window? My aff code is pasted in below.

        That code is crap. Use the code I posted in my previous post.

    Here's the code you should be using:

    It's best practice to include the height and width of every image you use - it makes pages load faster. If you don't then the image will not load until the rest of the page has. Also the code above didn't have the border part formatted correctly.

        It will if you copy the code correctly. It's basic code but I tested it myself just to make sure and it works fine. You must be doing something wrong.

          When we add it to our cms it does display on the site but when the user clicks it, it opens up within the frame in the page rather than loading up a new page.
