How do I stop Explorer from launching when new target is selected in Demo Browser?

How do I stop Explorer from launching when new target is selected in the Demo Browser?

Everytime I select a link that does not default to <_Self> ie. <_Blank> Explorer launches instead of a new browser screen that I create in AutoPlay.

Thats because anything other than _self pops up in a new/previously-set window...

<a href="whatever.htm" target="_self">whatever</a> will alwyas show up in the current window.

<a href="whatever.htm" target="_cheeseball">whatever</a>
<a href="whatever.htm" target="_pinkundies">whatever</a>
<a href="whatever.htm" target="_blank">whatever</a>

Those will always open in a new window... just how Internet Explorer is set to handle targets.

Solution? Set all your targets to "_self", and they will all stay nice and warm inside your AMS project. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

You can name your window anything you like, _self is default, i.e.:

<SCRIPT language='javascript'>
self.name = "thisIsMyWindow";
</SCRIPT>

Thanks guys!

I know how to do this with my own web stuff, in reality though users would be surfing other websites that I don't have contole over the targets.

Thanks anyways!

If you do it the same way you would on the web it will work. As for the other sites you don't have control over that when you do stuff on the web either. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] You can't do anything in an AMS web browser object which can't be done on the web.
