Why do hyperlinks in my link bar open a new browser window?

[Guest]

I set up a link bar based on navigation using Frontpage, and when I click on
the hyperlinks some of them open a new browser window. This is not how I
intended it to behave and cannot see what is causing it.

Check your pages for a <base ref= ...> tag in the head section and delete it

Thanks Stefan, that was it.

Where can I add the tag <base ref=...> in order for a particular link to open
in a new window?

You don't. Instead you add the target attribute to the particular link -

<a href="foo.html" target="_blank">This will open in a new window</a>
<a href="foo.html">This will not open in a new window</a>
