Hello,
I am building this new site for a friend of mine, and I experience some strange behavior of the CSS menu that I build. When I preview the site in a browser, clicking an item in the CSS menu causes a new window to open, instead of simply going to another page ??
Any ideas what is the reason why this happens?

Hi Johny,
A similar issue came up the other day, have you got the page target set to _blank? You can find out by looking in the Page Inspector palette.

Strange that one must pay attention to that. I remember making a CSS menu on my own site, and I don’t recall that I had to indicate this. There is no mention of it in the manual as well?
Anyway, I set the page target to _self and now it works okay.
It was a time consuming workaround however: highlight the menu item, then on the bottom of the page, links:external > other, in that dialogue box choose internal again, select the correct page and set the target to _self.
All of this because I could not find some indication of target in the inspector palette ???

SOMETHING must have set your pages to have a specific target. It is
possible to include code that tells the browser to give every link a
specific target, which will produce the kind of behaviour you
reported.
BUT this is not normal behaviour; it requires specific code that
makes this happen. A normal Freeway page with a normal CSS menu won’t
behave like this. Therefore something has caused your pages to
include the snippet of target code.
A link to the problem page would be very helpful…

Thx for the reply’s; But as I said, I fixed the problem with the workaround, and now it is ok. If it happens again on another site, I promise I will leave it untouched a post a link so you can get a closer look to it:)

Hi Johny,
You must’ve inadvertently set the target to _blank previously which caused all links in the page to open in a new window at some point - it’s not a problem as such just a setting that was turned on by mistake I think

Agree, but this leaves me with the question, why don’t I see that setting (target) anywhere in the page inspector pallet?

Make sure you have nothing on the page selected. Click on any blank
spot on the pasteboard first. Then look in the third tab from the
left, at the bottom. The picker is labeled Target on English systems,
something equivalent elsewhere. If you’re using XHTML or HTML Strict,
this picker will be grayed out.

It could be added in other ways. Have you looked in the HTML Markup
dialog in the Page menu?
