Geeklog Forums

Hello, Does anybody know if it is possible to open a link in the same window of a staticpage. I want the opened link to open within the page for example if I link to geeklog .com it now opens a complete new window I want it to open within my site does that makle sense?

Hmm, not sure I can follow ... When you use something like <a href="http://www.geeklog.net">Geeklog Homepage</a> in your static page, that would not open in a new window (unless you add target="_blank". The links from the links section do open in a new window, though. And, honestyl, I don't like that either ... bye, Dirk

Yes it is. But it requires a minor workaround. In order for me to show you how to do this I need to direct you to a Static Page.

will using target="_top" work?

No. The point - I believe - is to show subsequent links wrapped in his Geeklog site. Using _top means it replaces the entire page and you lose the viewer to that site (they may not come back). The tip I posted below allows you to link to another site and show the contents of that site "within" your Geeklog site. Basically it's like treating any external site as a Static Page within Geeklog. But I may be wrong, maybe he does want to simply link pages to _top. Knuckles

Thank you for this suggestion - I tried it on my site (using your exact code - for trial purposes did not change the links) and found that it works correctly on IE6, comes up with the "Appears that your site does not support inline frames" message in Netscape 4.08 and does not show anything at all in Netscape 6. Is there any coding that will work across all browsers? Or at least, allow for option 2 to appear in different versions of Netscape? Many thanks
