Hyperlinks Now Opening to New Browser Windows

C

ccarmourreds

Suddenly, new browser windows open when you click on hyperlinks on my
site, with the exception of the home page. When the new window opens,
it navigates how it is suppose to. To my knowledge, I didn't do
anything to create this. I've tried to remove the target=contents tag
that has magically appeared in some spots, but it comes back. I've
looked for a base tag, but can't find one. Some windows that open do
not have an additional tag. I'm FRUSTRATED, to say the least. The
site is www.neha.org. Any help you can provide would be much
appreciated.

Thanks,

Cristi

Every page that displays that behavior has: <base target="_blank">
right above the closing head tag.

Here's the one from:http://www.neha.org/links.html
<base target="_blank">
</head>

Steve,

OK, still on this page http://www.neha.org/links.html

I removed the base target=_blank tag and removed the target=contents
tag on the first link listed -- Ambient Air-Innovative Clean Air
Technologies (ICAT). I'm still opening to new windows. In addition,
I didn't put any of those target tags in my code. Every once in a
while I set a link to open to a new window and it has always worked
for only that link, not the whole site. Anything else?

Thanks,

Cristi

Steve,

I removed all of the base target=_self tags from the site. I'm still
getting new windows popping open. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Make sure that you do not have any

<base target="whatever"> tags on your pages.

Thomas,

I searched the entire site for base target="whatever" tags and didn't
find anything. I'm at a loss...

Thanks,

You are not going to find the word "whatever" so just do a search in HTML / Code view for <base
target=

Do a global search for target= You have a number of links that say
target="contents" but this isn't a "frames" page so there's no target called
contents for the link to open in so it pops a new window.

I have searched the entire site and removed everything that is
target=contents and target=main. I saved my changes and expected
everything to be fixed. However, when I go back to the site, the
target=main and target=contents tags are still there!! Check out this
page in particular: http://www.neha.org/links.html. Yes, I did clear
my browser history, temp files, etc. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

I can't find target=contents, but there are a large number of target="main"
and this is not a frame page. Others have said that target=anything will be
interpreted as target=_blank

So I would open the file in Code view and do a replace of:
target="main" with blank

Then resave

Clearly something is causing the target = "main" to be generated. But if you
only edit the file and then replace it, I can't see how that can happen. (I
am happy to be corrected by anyone who knows how/why it happens.)

Everyone,

None of this is working. I still do the search and replace and save
in FP. However, the code appears again magically. Now, I have a
number of links on our site that aren't working at all. I've hit
emergency level!! Any help would be appreciated. www.neha.org

Thanks,

Your home page does not have <body> or </body> tags. This will not
affect the links, but is a problem.

There are still several links with target="_blank", though some of these
(not all) may be intentional.

I never noticed that. And yes, I'll fix it. One interesting note,
our home page is the ONLY page on the site that's links work correctly
right now. Probably also the only one without the body tags. I know
you need the body tags, but could that be a clue?

Thanks,

Cristi

Start by validating your Html and fixing the broken html
Your pages have head sections in the middle of them
