Navigation bar

I am trying to create a navigation bar for a simple three page web site.
Let's call the pages Home, Page 1 and Page 2.
I open the site and Home is displayed.
When I click on a link ( to Page 1 or Page 2) a new Internet Explorer window
is opened. However, any navigating I do in this new window, including going
to the Home page, stays in this new window.

How do I stop the initial naviagation creating a new window?

Check and make sure none of your hyperlinks have a TARGET= in them. (Look
in Code View). If they do remove them.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I should have been more explicit.

I am using the "Insert: Navigation" menu funcrtion to create the bar using
the navigation layout I have created.

The automatically created code for the home page is:
<!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Orientation="horizontal"
S-Rendering="graphics" S-Theme="sumipntg" B-FirstInsert="TRUE"
S-Type="children" --></p>.

For the others it is:<!--webbot bot="Navigation" S-Orientation="horizontal"
S-Rendering="graphics" S-Theme="sumipntg" S-Type="siblings"
B-Include-Home="TRUE" B-Include-Up="FALSE" --></p>

What's the URL so we can take a look? If you look in Code View to you see a
tag like BASE TARGET anywhere at the top of the page?

It is not uploaded yet. I have it on my PC for development and will only
publish it when this problem is solved.

Perhaps I shopuld point out that I use FrontPage 2003 with Windows XP Home
edition and IE 7.

All pages start with:
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-au">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Bondi Booti Home Page</title>
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="Booties, baby, infant">
<base target="contents">

Only the "title" varies. So the answer is "Yes, they all have
<base target="contents">" at the upper part of the code.

Many thanks - it now works!

This problem was created automatically by FrontPage. Can it be "turned off"
or is it an "undocumented feature"?

FrontPage doesn't automatically create that. It had to be put in by you.
Did you use a FrontPage template? Did you used to have the site set up in
frames? If you had a Frameset named "contents" then that tag is left over
from the old layout.

Guilty! I had frames in there once and deleted them. I certainly did not type
in the code myself – FrontPage did it for me, and I call that automatic.

It’s a shame that FrontPage did not delete the code when the frames were
deleted.
But that’s enough semantics. Let’s just accept that as a FrontPage novice I
could not know that I had to manually delete some code – how could I?

Anyway, as I said before, thank you
