Hello all,
Ive struggled with this for hours last night and still can't fix it... It’s the only remaining problem with this current verison of my website code.
this is the site im talking about:
http://www.madewithpixels.co.uk
The whole site is basically 1 big frameset that uses javascript links to call the correct frames in the folio section. just to be clear before i get into an explanation of the problem, the index.html and folio.html framesets are actually 2 seperate, static .html pages.
ok here goes.
There seems to be a problem with the javascript links opening the folio navigation in a new window rather than replacing the frames. It only happens when the user clicks into the portfolio section using the news item links from the home page.... To better explain it, try the following...
Example 1: Use the 'main navigation' to enter the following page: Folio / world wide web / 10associates --- everything works a-ok right?
Example 2: Now do the same thing but using the news link:
from the index page > Click the '10associates completed' news item > now click another category in the folio navigation e.g Print media... It opens in a new window!!!! NOT what i want at all
The content frames that load are EXACTLY the same HTML files when navigating to the 10associates page using either of the examples above, except for one small detail which i am sure is at the root of the problem:
In example 1, the folio frameset replaces the index page when the folio link is clicked, > then the user selects 10 associates from the folio_navigation frameset which in turn replaces the two content frames.
In example 2, the news link replaces the index page with a static 10associates_sc.html frameset which contains the relevant content frames.
I just cannot work out why the same code (the same .html page in fact) would have two different effects?... and ive just noticed that Opera insists on opening ALL of the folio links in a separate tab, regardless of which navigation example you use. It's really driving me up the wall, and if worst comes to worst im going to disable the links from the news section.
any help here is greatly appreciated. booze, grade A narcotics and girls (or boys if you like) with loose morals are all available to the person able to help me with this one :D
