I have a new web project I am working on which I have built using Frontpage 2003. When I preview a page it opens the page in my browser window OK but when I then click on a nav button it opens the new page in another incidence of the Website all other pages then open normally in the second site. I have published a trial version to see what happens and I get the same effect- essentially two websites. Got me baffled, was hoping someone could tell me what I have done wrong.

Thankyou

I have attached the link to the temporary site. It's probably easier to see than explain. When you open the site click on one of the nav buttons on the left. Instead of just opening that page it opens a new window with the website in it. All navigation then works OK. When you close it you close the new one but the original is still open. I hope that clarifies it and thanks for your help.

PS the site is not finished so not all buttons work.

Just revisiting this problem as it has not gone away.

To try and clarify it.
When I navigate to my website the home page opens as expected.
When I then click on a nav button I can see that the new page has opened as it appears on the task bar at the bottom of the screen. However, the home page remains on the screen.
If I click on any more links they all open at the bottom but the home page remains.
If I then open one of the pages from the task bar and use its nav buttons the pages change and all works well.
If I then close that website it will close down but I am left with the original home page still open on the screen and have to then close that down.

It seems like there are two websites open, but I cannot see how that could happen or how I can fix it.

Hope someone can throw some light on this one plse.

Your published web site does not have any links on it but I think I know what your problem is - your links have been made to open a new window rather than in the same window as the web page.

Right click the link and go to properties > target frame and set it to either page default or same frame.

Or in code:
Code:
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Link </a>

Change the target_blank (or whatever) to be:

Code:
<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_parent">Link </a>

Or you can even remove the target="_blank" part completely.
