HELP !! my target pages have gone awry

W

woody

I just replublished my site www.hybridynepower.ca, and am 'suddenly' having
problems which I never had before .

Across the top of each of my pages are buttons I've set up to look like
index tabs. The idea is that the 'tab' the visitor is on will be black text
and the rest white, and that will follow the visitor 'across' as he accesses
each page.


1 - sometimes the text and/or the colors of the 'tab' buttons will not be
correct. I notice that if I go back and user BUTTON PROPERTIES to edit the
button that looks incorrect in 'design' mode, the correct settings are
already there, and when I leave BUTTON PROPERTIES ( without having to change
anything ) it suddenly looks correct. If I then save the page, it USUALLY
corrects it, but not always. Do you have any idea why these buttons are
'forgetting' their settings ?

2 - ( and this one is really scary ). Now all of a sudden, some of the
buttons are opening the target page in a new window, instead of what I have
set under HYPERLINK/TARGET FRAME, which is always " Page Default ( none ) ".
A perfect example of this is INSTALLATIONS/PHOTOS
http://www.hybridynepower.ca/Page_05.02.htm . If you click on the
INSTALLATONS tab, or any of the buttons in the left margin, the pages open as
a new occurrence of the browser, instead of just replacing that page with the
desired one. Could you please take a look and let me know what you think ?

sure hope one of you experts can help me

regards
woody

You have <base target="_blank"><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" in
your code, which calls for opening a new window.

Hi Tom

thanks again for nailing the target thing correctly - I really appreciate
it.

Hi Stefan - thanks for the PS, but I can't find either Hoover or Sitemap in
the code . I'm even more ignorant about Java than I am about FP, so I
wouldn't have coded it, and don't know what it does. I'll gladly replace it
if you would give me a hint where I might find it.

Thanks for the help

The Hoover (FP Java Hover button) at the top of your page for the link to: Sitemap
In code view
<APPLET height=25 width=83 code=fphover.class><PARAM NAME="_cx" VALUE="2196"><PARAM NAME="_cy" VALUE="661"></APPLET>

Java is block or unavailable to many users so the link does not work

Hi Stefan

OK, I found it ( in my ignorance, I didn't realize that a HOOVER is a FP
Hover Button )
It's in my shared left border
If I understand you correctly, some visitors don't have Java, therefore the
button won't work for them... got it . I should replace it with something
else.

thanks for all your help

regards
