Question about popup windows from menus

Post by aquaverse »

When I click an item in my menu it opens a new window with a fixed width and height. If I leave that window open, go back to parent window and click the same link, it opens another child window. Is there a way to avoid this, so that it only opens one child window at all times?

I think you need to give the window a name in the target= part. So, for example, target=_mywindow; It should then open whatever pages you have that coded in the menu link in that window.

Are you using a javascript function (per your earlier post) to open a new window, or are you using the target property in the aI() string to do it?

Thanks for the responses. I am using the target property to open the window. That part is working fine. I will try your suggestion first thing on Monday, Ruth. Any other assistance would be greatly appreciated.
