Hi there.

This is really a weird problem to me. As known, links are redirected into a new window if _blank is enabled. This does work on my site except there is difference between firefox and IE.

When I open a link on my site with Firefox:
it works fine, every time I click on the link, it opens up a new window.

When it comes to IE, something weird happened:
first time, link opened in a new window, however then if i click on the links again (including the clicked or any other links), the link will be opened in the window that popped up the previous time.
that is, new window only opens once, thereafter all clicked links redirect to this window.

Does any one know how to solve this problem? Appreciate for any kind help. Thanx.

This may or may not be it, take a look at this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q180176/


Other than that, target="_blank" SHOULD open a new window each time. So the above may be the issue.

Another reason why FireFox is the way to go :)

thanx for the reply, but you know what? i got the prob solved by simply changing one word.

_BLANK to _blank

i don know what it does but it now works fine with both IE and firefox(which originally has no problem)
