[SOLVED] link doesn't open in the same window

[ervand]

Hello everyone!

I have a problem here and I hope someone will help me

http://mylocalmove.com/problem.html

If you pay attention to the bottom right corner - I have an iframe script that loads a different page everytime.

For not I have these three pages to load:
http://mylocalmove.com/frames/testimonials/1.html
http://mylocalmove.com/frames/testimonials/2.html
http://mylocalmove.com/frames/testimonials/3.html

In the future those three pages above will contain different success stories, but for now I have these simple examples to try on.

Basically every time you reload a page a new success story comes up. All of those success stories have a link at the bottom "Read more..."

Problem:

When I click that link browser doesn't jump to that page, instead it loads a page inside of that iframe. What do I need to do in order to make browser load a new page when I click on a "Read more..." page?

I will greatly appreciate anybodies help.
Thanks in advance...

replace target="iframenamehere" with target="_blank"

also, its MUCH better to do that in PHP

$num = rand(1,3);
if ($num = '1'){
blah blah blah
} elseif($num = '2'){
lolol
} else {
hi
}

Thanks...

What was the PHP part and how do I use it? I am not too familiar with it, can you help me with some more details? Thanks...

Yeah, just get a PHP enabled host and create a file that ends in php (or just rename your .html file to .php. Don't worry it still parses html) and add this code where you want the random text to appear:

<?php
$num = rand(1,3);
if ($num = '1'){
text 1
} elseif($num = '2'){
text 2
} else {
text 3
}
?>

Replace text 1 2 and 3 with whatever you want it to say.

Hmm, I have a problem here. I added that part, and it still doesn't work.

Look, go to this page:
http://mylocalmove.com/problem.html

in the footer I just made a new frame that displays:
"Home | Sitemap | F.A.Q. | My Local Move © 2008 | Privacy Policy"

the code is


<IFRAME
src=http://mylocalmove.com/frames/footer/footer.html
width=900
height=20
target="_blank"
align="center"
frameborder=0
marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0"
scrolling=no>
</IFRAME>

I added a line that you mentioned, but links still open in that iframe, instead of loading a new page.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hey there,

Open http://mylocalmove.com/frames/footer/footer.html file.

add target="_top" to each of your links. This will open it within the same tab/window and not just the iframe.

use target="_blank" if you want it to open in a new tab/window.

Hope that helps!

Example:
<a href="http://mylocalmove.com/" target="_top">Home</a>

Thanks to Jaxo and Slapshot,
both of you guys helped me.
I used both _top and _new in my footer on the website.

I really appreciate your help...
