obsidian Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 usually, you can get a new window to load in the parent window by calling target="_parent" as an attribute of the anchor tags. otherwise, you can name your parent window and actually target by name Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22595-click-link/#findComment-101401 Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsidian Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 once you name the main window "base", try doing what i suggested above:[code]<a href="yourURL" target="base">Your Text</a>[/code] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22595-click-link/#findComment-101463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
