While the city slept, Mel (

I have a navigation page, very long list of urls and when you click a
link it is opened in a new window.
THE PROBLEM:
When i scrolldown the navaigator and click on a link, it refreshes
itself, even when i have target specified.
How can i avoid this
It sounds like you are using javascript in the onclick handler to open a
window, and using href="#". This is A Bad Idea. Try using something like;
<a href="myfile.html" onclick="myOpenWinFunc(this.href); return false;">My
File</a>
instead... Obviously replace the myOpenWinFunc() part with whatever you use
to open the window... This would call a function called myOpenWinFunc() with
the value of href (the uri of the file you want to open). The return false
part stops the file in href from being opened. If javascript is not
available - or not enabled - then the file specified in the href will open
normally, so it will work even if javascript is not available to - or not
desired by - the end-user.
Of course, I could have got the wrong end of the stick, in which case I am
sorry... my crystal ball is at the cleaners today ;-)
You're welcome. Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Nige
