Yet another HTML question...kami, IBHackn, come-on in!

Ok, another question for you. In my upper bar, I have this bit of code implemented so someone doesn't have to click on the text to go to the links...

<td width=14% onClick=&quot;location.href='http://www.hikefordiabetes.org/main.htm'&quot; onMouseOver=&quot;this.style.backgroundColor='#CBDCEC';this.style.cursor='hand';&quot; onMouseOut=&quot;this.style.backgroundColor='#FFFFFF';this.style.cursor='hand';&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;>
<a style=&quot;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.hikefordiabetes.org/main.htm&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot;>
<div align=&quot;center&quot;>
<font color=&quot;#00008b&quot;>Home</font>
</div>
</a>
</td>

When someone clicks the bar at the top, though, the URL at the top of the screen isn't refreshed...in other words, even though they're clicking &quot;bios&quot;, it will go to bios, but at the top of the screen (in the IE toolbar) it shows www.hikefordiabetes.org/main.htm - so if they hit refresh, it doesn't load bios, but instead main.

How do I fix that?

I forget but does '_top' open a new page?

In any case, I suggest you try removing all the hoverings you have on your tags and see how the URL reacts then. If it isn't the hovering style scripts doing it, then you have no problem there.

I'm still working on it.
 
Ok, the problem only happens when you don't click the text, but do click within the <td> </td> boundaries. So how can I change that?

Rob
 
yes, I remember that _blank does it...there is also one more that opens a new page and I may have mistaken that for _top.
 
Why not just add an <A> tag before the <TD> and close it after the </TD>? That way you could still have all your events but it would be a normal reference...maybe give that a shot and see if it works any better.
 
That wasn't working under IE, I think - or maybe it was Opera; I forget, but it was furking everything up under one of my browser tests.

Dude... I wish I had some money 🙁 Is that all they've gotten so far?
 
thereds: you may be thinking of &quot;_new&quot;, which opens one new page and reuses it rather than continuing to open up more when more links are clicked.
 
hey I'm not sure what you're talking about because it works fine for me in IE 5.5. When I refresh it stays on the right page.
 
its not just on bios its on all of them.

my comment on this: its because the IE shows the title of the main frame. therefore since you are loading a page within the frames the title doesnt take over, what you would have to do is reload the whole page.


actually if you notice when you first type in the addy it says on the top &quot;http://students.washington.edu/robcole/hike/main.htm&quot; once the whole page is loaded then it changes the title, double check all your <title></title> tags.

Ok, DAM, I'm working on that right now. I think I understood what you meant.

PS - IBHacknU, we have only received $51.53 so far, but we're hoping for more. We're working hard for it. 😛
 
Ack, so how do I correct this? If the tag I were trying to change were just a href tag, putting &quot;_top&quot; works fine. But it isn't; it's onClick=&quot;location.href='http://www.hikefordiabetes.org/main.htm'&quot;

So what do I do?
