I hava a web application. In that i have a link called "Home". When the user clicks the starting page of the web application that is index.jsp should be displayed in the same page. How can i do that. It should work in internet explorer.
I have the following html page.
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFF8DC">
<a href="index.jsp" target="parent" >HOME</a>
</body>
</html>
But it is not working.
The command does not work. The index page is displayed in the Home link itself.
<html>
<body bgcolor="#FFF8DC">
<a href="index.jsp" target="_blank" >HOME</a>
</body>
</html>
I worked with the above code. it works very well in Internet explorer but not in mozilla. I want it to work in mozilla also.
Thanks
Perhaps you intended TARGET="_parent" ? This allows a link to load in a parent frame
Probably is a problem addressing the jsp page. Try using the complete URL.
In order for your link to open in the same window it resides in, use:
<a href="foo.html" target="_self">some text</a>
Please note the underscore before self. If you do not use it, your browser will look for a frame named "self".
See http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/special/a.html
The TARGET attribute is used with frames to specify the frame in which the link should be rendered. If no frame with such a name exists, the link is rendered in a new window unless overridden by the user. Special frame names begin with an underscore:
* _blank renders the link in a new, unnamed window
* _self renders the link in the current frame (useful for overriding a BASE TARGET)
* _parent renders the link in the immediate FRAMESET parent
* _top renders the link in the full, unframed window
In HTML 4, the TARGET attribute value is case-insensitive, so that _top and _TOP both have the same meaning. However, most browsers treat the TARGET attribute value as case-sensitive and do not recognize _TOP as having the special meaning of _top.
You're just missing an underscore. "self" is treated as any other name label.
Alternatively, you can just skip the target attribute of the link. Target defaults to the same browser window if you don't specify otherwise.
