FP2003 opening pages in new window - why?

P

Paul Ferrara

I've been using FP 98 since it came out and just upgraded to FP 2003. But
I'm having a big problem with an existing web site that I can't figure out.
FP wants to open my text links in a new browser window. I don't want that to
happen and it doesn't happen on my existing site.

Here's my existing site:

http://www.paulsportraits.com

Here's an example of the problem:

http://www.paulsportraits.com/test2003

If you click on the Portrait link you'll see what is happening.

I've traced the problem down to some code that FP 2003 is inserting. It's

target="contents"

The question is why is FP adding this code and is there a way to tell it not
to. Thanks very much for any help.

Somehow you have added that as a default target
Use Search (target="contents") and replace w/ nothing or (target="_self")

Honest, I didn't add anything as a default. FP 98 doesn't use that
parameter. When I opened the web with FP 2003, it added them automatically.
Why it chose to use "contents" instead of "_self," I haven't a clue. I'm
afraid it's going to do the same thing on my other web sites if I don't
figure out why.

I also have tried just deleting the entire phrase but FP added it back in
again. Changing all the references to "_self" (about 150 of them) solved the
probem and I thank you for that.
