Link opens new window?

Why are my links opening a new window? I thought it needed a blank tag.

Code: Select all
<td width="741" style="border-style: none; border-width: medium" height="224" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" bordercolor="#333333" valign="top">
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-left-width: 0; border-right-width: 0; border-bottom-width:0" bordercolor="#006666" width="100%" id="AutoNumber7" height="8">
<tr>
<td width="12%" style="border-left: 1px solid #006666; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1; border-bottom-style:none; border-bottom-width:medium" align="center" bgcolor="#B5C4E3" bordercolor="#339966" height="15"> 
<b><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#FFFFFF"><a href="index.html">Home</a></font></b></td>
<td width="18%" style="border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1; border-bottom-style:none; border-bottom-width:medium" align="center" bgcolor="#B5C4E3" bordercolor="#339966" height="15"> 
<b><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#FFFFFF"><a href="Services.html">Services</a></font></b></td>
<td width="26%" style="border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1; border-bottom-style:none; border-bottom-width:medium" align="center" bgcolor="#B5C4E3" bordercolor="#339966" height="15"> 
<b><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#FFFFFF"><a href="Specials.html">Specials</a></font></b></td> 
<td width="24%" style="border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1; border-bottom-style:none; border-bottom-width:medium" align="center" bgcolor="#B5C4E3" bordercolor="#339966" height="15"> 
<b><font size="2" color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial"><a href="Contactus.html">Contact 
Us</a></font></b></td> 
<td width="20%" style="border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1; border-right: 1px solid #006666; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1; border-bottom-style:none; border-bottom-width:medium" align="center" bgcolor="#B5C4E3" bordercolor="#339966" height="15"> 
<b><font size="2" color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial"><a href="About.html">About 
Us</a></font></b></td>

Add the part that I highlighted in red:
Code: Select all
 <td width="26%" style="border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1; border-bottom-style:none; border-bottom-width:medium" align="center" bgcolor="#B5C4E3" bordercolor="#339966" height="15"> 
                <b><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#FFFFFF"><a href="Specials.html" target="_parent">Specials</a></font></b></td>

Re: Link opens new window?

You have no DOCTYPE.

If you are using frontpage I suggest throwing it in the bin and learn to hand code.

Re: Link opens new window?

Hehehe...don't yell at me, but why the heck did you tell her to use...

Code: Select all
target="_parent"
instead of....

Code: Select all
target="_self"
Just wondering why? Not saying I am right, cause I sure as hell could be wrong, well maybe I should look it up before I post....Nah.
