Why does my Web page cause the browser to launch a new browser window?

0

If a link in your web page is launching a new session in Netscape or MSIE, you have specified an incorrect target in the link dialog. The target field is generally only useful for frame web sites, or to launch a new session. Here’s what to look for. In the Target field, it should say _self. This will load over the current page. It might say default:_self, which is fine. Either of these will replace the existing page rather than launching a new browser session. If it says _blank, it is going to launch a new session. Sometimes this may be desirable, but not typically. You want to change this to one of the above. If it says default:_blank, you need to make a change in the Web Page Properties. In this you can specify a default destination for all your hyperlinks. Change this from _blank to _self. This will fix all the links in the document. You may have to check all your documents if you have set this to _blank in others as well.
