HTML - How To Open Link In Same Browser Window

Hi Guys,

I have recently changed over to DOC TYPE "HTML 4 strict"

My page is validating fine apart from where i have used
target="_blank"
on one of my links.

Is there a way around this or do i haev to go back to transitional?

The page is here www.creativecogs.com/final

hi there,

I wonder how to open a new window from a link, set the size and remove the toolbar?

In my application the user can click on a car model, and I would like to open a new window (smaller) with only the relevant info. the window should be a new one (so he can simply close it and stay in the main page).

thanks for any pointers.

For example, i'm using firefox and there is a link in one website. Now i want to open this link in IE. How to do it?

I have this site I designed, of course I like it perfectly in Internet Explorer but when I tried it in FIREFOX something gets messed up.

http://idesrecordings.com/testindex.htm

Basically, you scroll over the cagalogue numbers [ID03] etc. If you click on one, a new smaller window opens. This works perfectly in IE for me.

In Firefox, when I click on it, the smaller window opens, and the background window a few seconds later follows and displays the small page fullscreen as well. Basically, I want the homepage to always be in the background, and these seperate pages to always be in the smaller windows.

I'm on a PC, I notice in Firefox it works properly if you RIGHT click on the items, but most people are going to LEFT click, so... I need it to work the same as it does in Internet Explorer.

What do I do?!

Code:

<div id="Layer2" style="position:absolute; width:394px; height:291px; z-index:2; left: 93px; top: 165px" class="greenlinks"> 
    <p><font face="Segoe Media Center"><font size="2"><b><font face="Arial Unicode MS">TAPE

hoverlink is the name of my CSS for rollover links.

Hopefully this makes sense.

I am in the process of validating my website to be in compliance with W3C's Strict guidelines, and I ran into a problem with one of my links. The link works fine in that it will open up a new browser window, but the page will not validate properly. Is this possible under Strict guidelines? If so, can someone help me out with the proper code?

Here is my link as it appears in my website:

<a class="death" href="http://www.graveyards.com/" target="_blank">
Reincarnate Me, Please.
</a>

Thanks in advance for any and all help!


Take care and have a great day....



ciao,

Hello All,

I am searching for a solution for a friend of mine.

He has a new website, that runs perfectly in Firefox, and Chrome, however not in Internet Explorer.

He runs IE6 in XP. Yes, i konw, IE6.

The issue is that there is a program that will ONLY run in IE6. Upgrade IE, and it will not work. There is no option here.

So what I am trying to find is some sort of coding that in Firefox / Chrome, that when that coding is reached (could be a plain .html or .php document) that ie6 will then open up for that page to be viewed.

This will enable my friend, to use their new website in either firefox or chrome, however when that program is required, and they click on the link in firefox or chrome, then ie6 will open up and off they go.

Any ideas?

Chris.

I want my link to open into a new window with no scrollbar or status bar and be 100% of the screen width and 66% of the screen height. Is there a way to do this? thanks in advance.

Is there a way to have a link bring up a 'Save as...' box by default rather than having the link open the file inside my visitors' browser. More specifically, I have a long lecture on my site (mp3) that by default opens in my visitors' browsers rather than offering to be downloaded. I know visitors can right-click on the link to get a 'Save as...' box, but I would rather 'Save as...' be the default action whenever the link is clicked.

Hello I'm now well on my way to making my first website from html code.

Please could someone give me the examples of:

1) Opening a link in current tab
2) Opening a link in new tab
3) Opening a link in a new window

Here is the case. I have an HTML page that opens a pop-up. Within the popup I need upon click to open a new window. The code is as it should be according to all references:

<a href="some url" target="_blank">text</a>


Everything is ok with IE6 and IE7 - a new window is being opened.

What happens in Firefox is very strange - tabs are shown and the currently opened popup becomes one of the tabs and the new window opens in a new tab of the pop-up window instead in a new normal window.

Did anybody encounter the same problem? Any solutions?

I have several links on my site, all in the form of <a href="http://www.mywebsite.com">mywebsite</a>

How do I need to change it such that a new instance of the browser is used in which the linked site is displayed.

Hi All,

Is there any posibility to open a window with some default html code.

Example :

In a page dropdown changes i will launch a new window using window.open()
as soon as the window opens i want to display default content to the user until the the browser get the response from the server.



Thanks in Advance.

Hello everyone,

I've been stuck on this for a good few hours trying to figure it out. At which i have to come to a conclusion that it's a User Browser preference.

I was using the target="_blank", and it just keeps opening in a new tab.

Anyone have a simple quick solution to make sure it opens in a new window?

Hi, can any one show me how to change this HTML to make the link open in a new window?
I am new to HTML and cant see which part selects how it opens.

HTML Code:

<!--- begin Howdens.com dropdown ---><form action=" "  method=" GET "  id=form3 name=form3><table border=" 0"  cellpadding=" 1 "  cellspacing=" 0 "  width=244><tr><td 
bgcolor="#ffffff"  align=" center " ><a href=" http://www.Howdens.com ">
<img src=" http://www.howdens.com/i/link2us/small-howdens-stack.jpg " width=244 height=76 border=0 alt="link to Howdens.com"></a><br clear=all><SELECT NAME="URL " SIZE=1 onChange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')"><OPTION selected="choose one " >choose one<br><option value="http://www.Howdens.com ">Howdens.com</option><option value="http://www.howdens.com/kitchens/">Kitchens </option><option value="http://www.howdens.com/appliances/">Appliances</option><option value="http://www.howdens.com/joinery/">Joinery</option><option value="http://www.howdens.com/bathroom-cabinets/">Bathroom Cabinets</option></select></td></tr></table></form><!--- end Howdens.com dropdown --->

Thanks for any help.

I have a site that opens a new window to this link:

http://www.myvira.com/part_reg/part_...this_event=154

If you click the "Pay Fee" button link, I want it to open the payment window in a new one but it either keeps it in the current window or back to the main window that this all started from (http://www.myvira.com and then click on the "Register for Race" item).

Any help would be much appreciated!!!
