Apologies to trouble you with what will seem a simple or stupid question!

I just built my first website - it only has HOME page plus 4 other pages.

Website opens fine on HOME page.

TROUBLE IS:

when you click for one of the other pages, a new browser window opens - and then if you click for any of the remaining pages - you get no more new pages!

I don't want new window to open! Surely all the navigation should be able to happen on the first window (the one you get when you first go to the website). What am I doing wrong. I have built the site with Dreamweaver.

Many thanks in anticipation of your help!
 
I believe that when you create a link w/ dreamweaver you are give a "target" box option. Sounds like you've chosen "_blank" which makes a new window. Leave the target box blank and that should solve your problem.

Sorted! THANK YOU mwolf00 and luds!

Ps: the problem must have come about because I had started the design using frames, which I then abandoned in favour of using templates - at which point I failed to blank out the "target" box.

Thanks again!
