:confused:
I'm confused about the differing treatments the browsers give to three different pages I have--each page has a set of links that are of the same type within the page, but vary across the three pages.
The series of links on the first of these pages, call it page 1, are of the form:
<A HREF="[URLx]" TARGET="_blank">[HYPERTEXTx]</A>
In both Firefox and IE, if the user clicks on HYPERTEXTx, the page with URLx opens. If the user leaves that page open, brings page 1 back by clicking on the page 1 icon at the bottom of the browser, and clicks on HYPERTEXTy, a new window opens with the page whose URL is URLy. There is still a separate icon at the bottom of the browser for the page whose URL is URLx.
This is how I would like the other two series of links to work but...
the series of links on the second of these pages, call it page 2, are of the form:
<A HREF="[URLx#z]" TARGET="_blank">[HYPERTEXTz]</A>
In both Firefox and IE, if the user clicks on HYPERTEXTz, the page with URLx opens at anchor z. If the user leaves that page open, brings back page 2 by clicking on the page 2 icon at the bottom of the browser, and clicks on HYPERTEXTw, no new window opens. Unseen, the page whose URL is URLx at anchor z, changes to the page whose URL is specified in HYPERTEXTw at anchor w. But for the user to see this new page she has to click on what seems still to be the icon at the bottom of the browser for the first page that was opened--the one whose URL is URLx at anchor z--which actually is gone from the browser.
The series of links on the third of these pages, call it page 3, are of the form:
<A HREF="[URLx]" TARGET="_blank"><IMG SRC="x"></A>
In both Firefox and IE the results of the sequence described above are the same as for page 2, whereas I would like them to be the results I get for page 1.
Hope this isn't totally incomprehensible. Thanks for any help you can give.
