Navigation bar links opening in new window

All my navigation bar links are opening in a new window initially. How can I
configure the nav bar to have all links open in the existing window?

look in the <head> section of the page, there will be a base target="_blank"
remove it.

if you can, post the url of the offending page(s).

Well, there wasn't a "_blank" in there, but there was a reference from an
old frames style causing it.....

Now that I got all of them to open in the existing window, how do you modify
a single link in a nav bar to open in a new window? I want to all links to
stay on the same page except for external links, and links leading to pages
that do not share the same navigation structure. In this case specifically,
it is the link to my resume.

Please note that this is on a test machine, and might not be powered on when
you try the link.

When using the FP navigation component, you can not set target values for individual links.

I was afraid of that. I have never used nav bars before for that very
reason. I like to maintain control over how the site acts, but using FP's
features sure make maintenance easier. So, I guess it is just back to the
drawing board to make sure that I have my overall design set and am not
going to change it a whole lot!

Not Really!
a good way to go so you get the ease of a nav bar and the control of a
custom nav arrangement is to use the FrontPage include page component.

this way you make a page with nothing but your custom navigation bar, then
in every place you want the bar, just use insert/ web component/ include
file/ and browse to the menu page.
by doing this when you make a change to the custom menu it updates every
page.

IMHO the absolute best thing about FrontPage is the "include page" for a lot
of reasons. ;-)

they're especially cool when doing a .css only layout.
