How can I force IE to use the window that is already there

[Thon de Boer]

Hi,

For one of our applications, we use hyperlinks from the
program to other websites. Everytime a user follows a
hyperlink, a new window session window opens with the
link. Most of the time this is fine behaviour, but for
some of our customers who are behind a firewall, they
need to enter a password for each session, making it
cumbersome.

Is there a way to force Iexplorer.exe or some run32dll
command to use the session that is already there?

Thanks,

Thon de Boer

Who actually writes the HTML code for your web pages? Just ask them to
open the page inside the same browser instance; i.e., stop using the
target=<name> parameter in the <A> tag. Perhaps you are specifying a
base target in the document other than the current frame, so not
specifying "target=_self" would open a new browser in that base target.

This isn't a problem with IE. It's a problem with your HTML code.
Probably should ask in an HTML coding newsgroup. I'm no HTML guru, just
someone that has occasionally used the "target=_blank" to force the link
to open in a new window and noted some of the other uses of the target
attribute.
