Text hyperlinks all opening in new windows - 10/29/2004 15:21:54
Anyone have any idea why all the text links in my site open in new windows when they are not set to do so? I am using FP2000 with a theme that was NOT applied using CSS. When I check the hyperlink properties they are all set to page default (none). Could it be that the theme or template (asp web) default is set to open in new windows? If so, how would I change it?
Thanks!
Teresa

Me too. Have you set your browser to do this?

I'm not sure about browser settings, and I'm finding it happens when using Netscape or IE. Is there a setting I can change, if so where can I find it?

Thanks again, Dan. I took a look at all the options listed under the advanced tab, played with a few. Nothing has changed. Funny thing is four of four computers here all open the text links in a new window. None of the graphic links do though. And it happens on both Netscape navigator and IE.

Hi Jaybee, thanks for your reply. Looking at the source code on the site I see what you are referring to. When I look at the source code on my local file, there are no tags.
Take for example my local file link code:
h4> Osseo and Maple Grove, Minnesota parents can start their child care
search <a href="ASP/db_srch.asp">here</a>. </h4>
and then the link source code taken from the site:
<h4> Osseo and Maple Grove, Minnesota parents can start their child care
search <a href="ASP/db_srch.asp" target="main">here</a>. </h4>
Would you know how is it that these additional tags are added to the source code during publishing?

The ad links all refer to the Advertising page on the site. They are there as placeholders for now. No frames are set up, only shared borders. I tried using the rotating ad component in the top shared border area, but then I found out rotating ad components only refer to one hyperlink. So, then I tried using a javascript rotating ad, but the images never showed up in the shared border, only the text showed up. So that's why all the image ad links. They are "real estate" for now.

Jaybee, I did as you suggested, and YES! It did make a difference. The text links on the index page no longer open in new windows. (All other pages still do though)

I'm not a FPSE user so this is probably where I hit my limit ...
I've just noticed a bit of your code however, did you develop any of this in Office rather than FP?
You have been a lot of help, Jaybee. I appreciate it.
The only office application I use in connection with this site is Access 2000. I'll upload this to a mirror test site on a different host and see if it has the same problem with FPSE. I have had two other issues with this host so far, both relating to FPSE. I'll contact them.
Thanks again.

OK, I uploaded to the mirror site.. tripod (hey! it's free!) Anyway I get the same results there. The text links are opening new windows and then all subsequent text links open in that same window. weird.

I found this at microsoft. It explains the behavior, but doesn't really indicate why this is happening in a non-frames page. Would this mean that shared borders is a frame environment as far as html is concerned? And why wouldn't this same behavior occur on my local IIS server?

As far as I can see the cause of your problem is using a theme for your site, nothing really to do with FPSE apart from it being a proprietry template. Shared borders may also contribute to this, but as I've never used them it's hard to say.
<meta name="Microsoft Theme" content="sumipntg 010, default">
Sumi Painting sumipntg - the 010 relates to 'active behaviour'; I assume that this is the animation you have.
FP2000: How to Alter the Theme Used by Web Templates
Overall, I think that you would have more control if you do as Jaybee suggests and build your own template page, using included content rather than shared borders. This is what I do and I still retain the benefit of FPSE for hassle free publishing and link management ( not to mention using attached databases ). Later you may move onto having even more control by using CSS, but for the time being have a look at this tutorial if this idea appeals.
Page layout and design
I am no expert on the interaction of FPSE and themes because I haven't used themes either, but I would imagine that the theme is controlling everything.

I'm a beginner. And that's an overstatement. I chose FrontPage because of the templates, themes, link management and publishing. I liked how everything was handled for me. Seems I have much to learn...
I found that FP served me well when I used it in all of those areas except themes. For me, they were problems and I abandoned them. Templates, Include pages and other techniques will do the same thing nicely and you can still take advantage of FP. Templates, in fact, are easier to use than themes, IMO
