HTML - Whether To Use Target="_blank" For Outside Link

*please bear with me this is a simple problem which is sort of hard to explain*

I run a very small (15 page) website for myself. The site consists of an image_list page, which is an index of 13 thumbnail images. Each thumbnail links to a single page, each page being a larger image of the respective thumbnail. These 13 individual pages are directed at the same base target window, _ximage.

you can find the image_list window he
http://www.winslowsmith.com/work/index.html

click on any one of these thumbnail links and a new window (_ximage) will open. navigate back to the image_list and click another link, the _ximage window will reload with the new page. Pretty simple, right?, just a <base target=""> command.

In safari this all looks swell, and the _ximage window, whether open or not, will always come to the foreground to load.

Not the case in Firefox.

My problem in Firefox is as follows: opening one of the given links in image_list will load a new window (or tab), with _ximage target, and the first time, that new window/tab with _ximage target will come to focus and be in the foreground.

However, if the viewer leaves the _ximage window open, and navigates back to the image_list window and clicks another link, that link will load appropriately but the _ximage window will remain in the background. (and it works the same whether you are using windows or tabs to load your new pages). This is frustrating because it forces the viewer to click twice rather than just once to get to one of these 13 pages, and said pages are the reason people would traffic to the site.

Is there any way to have the links to base (_ximage) target always load in the foreground in Firefox(even when the target window _ximage is open)? Is there code to tell the Firefox browser, hey this is an important window load it in the foreground?

Is there a way to do it with anchors?

any help is appreciated

Hello,

I've got a simple page with frames and a list of links. I'm trying to get hyperlinks to open into a frame called "PicFrame."

The code I've got works (opens the link into the PicFrame) in IE8, FF, Opera, and Chrome, but not IE6 or IE7 which is what my 2 computers use most-frequently.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a workaround?
A fragment of the simple code is below.

Thanks.

HTML Code:

//WITHOUT A HYPERLINK
<TR><TD>
<font size=2 face="verdana">Team 6  -  Dewey, Killum, & Howe</font>
</TD></TR>
                		       
				
//WITH A HYPERLINK                                
<TR><TD>
<font size=2 face="verdana">Team 7  - <a href="picturePage.PHP?id=003-1-2009-07"; target="PicFrame";> Setting John Malkovich</a></font>
</TD></TR>

I regularly send e-mails with large PDF attachments and quite often the e-mails bounce back from their servers, even with really small attachments. I would normally just send a link to a file on our server, but my boss doesn't like this because he tried opening it on his machine and his plug-in for Adobe is corrupt giving him a blank screen, and this leads him to believe this is what others are seeing. I know, I know... But I am not in a position to educate him on fixing his own computer.

My question is: Is there ANY workaround to creating a link that will open a PDF in reader directly? I cannot use PHP or any other server-side script as this is an e-mail, not a web site. But I can't risk sending attachments that bounce back. Any solution to this??

I have the above page that redirects users to my Winter Website - the HTML below isn't valid W3C does anyone know of a better and valid way to get this done? Cheers, Mas

HTML Code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="2.5;URL=http://www.colletts.co.uk/winter/winter_dolomites.html" />

A customer gave me a Word doc that they want turned into a printer friendly web page. I understand that there are tons of ways to do this but I really want the answer to the subject. What i'm referring to is a form that someone can print from the browser and "fill in the blanks" on the page where there are "underscores". My question is how to code those underscores. I tried manipulating the <hr> tag but it's putting way too much space in between each <hr>. I've already coded a "fill in the blank" line using <u>&nbsp;nbsp;</u> but that looks very messy.

What do you guys/gals think?

I was hoping someone could clue me in as to whether or not this would be possible. I'm thinking it isn't but I need to make sure. I'd like to provide a file for people to download on my website, but when they click on the link and the download window appears I don't want them to have the option of opening it. Is it possible to only give them the option to save the file?

Sounds incredibly unlikely but I gotta know.

Both of the ways [see code below] for some reason do not work with XHTML transitional. I am getting this error: end tag for "link" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified. How can this be fixed?

Hello,

I got a problem, i want to add a new link "Contact us" in my web page.

But i need to open up every single page to add the new link.

Like i change my homepage , and every single page changes?

Thanks

Hey guys, I've been working on this website some more, & many of you have been a great help to me in the past. I've come with another question..

http://www.cedarcreekyouth.org/

This is the page I ran through the W3C Validation thing.. I've got two more errors and three more warnings. I do not know how to fix them.. I've tried a few things, but my knowledge has failed me. Could someone show me how to fix this, with an explanation? Please and Thank you.

I'm running into IE 6 and 7 problems with the bug "Extra Whitespace in List Link Bug". I have applied the suggested Adobe fixes and some others found on-line but they don't seem to work. The problem is occurring in the two drop down menus in the top navigation. I also noticed some extra space at the top, above the content and the top of the browser window. These are only visible in IE 7 or lower. The site with the bug can be found at: http://www.infusiongraphics.com/UCOg...ite/index.html and css at http://www.infusiongraphics.com/UCOg...erontology.css

What are your thoughts?

Ok, currently on my site I have a bookmark link in my navigation bar (link is in my signature, also looking for reviews if you care to). However, I'm uncertain whether or not they really are worth it.

I'm a self taught hobbyist webmaster so I'm not really "in the know" when it comes to some things. I'm just wondering, do bookmark links increase the frequency of people bookmarking your page? Do they just look like extra spam?

I don't think I will keep mine up... it seems like even with it there it only works for IE and not mozilla or opera anyways.

Hi all,

I am currently working on a website using Dreamweaver CS3.

Whenever I view the (currently very basic) site in Firefox I get the line of code I entered as the title of this thread at the top of the page (directly above the banner) as if I had just typed it into the canvas area (correct term?). Whenever I view it in IE it appears just fine, not sure about other browsers though.

I began by creating a template and adding it to the page you see he

HTML Code:

Here is the code for the template:
