I've recently launched a site (Mary's Tips on Designing Web Sites) that
includes a lot of links to external Web sites:
http://www.superconnect.com/marystips
This is a frame site, and in each case where I invite the reader to go look
at one of the example sites, I use the target tag:
target="_top"
This puts the external Web page on top of my Web site, and that's OK, but
when readers click the "back" button to return to my Web site, they are
returned to the default opening page rather than the page they were reading
when they clicked the link! This means readers must again seek out the page
they were reading to continue reading that page. And of course they may not
even remember just where they were at the time they clicked the link.
Is there some target code that would assure that the reader would be
returned to the page they were viewing when they clicked the link?
-------------------
Of course, I could use some code (such as target=_blank) that would pop out
the external Web page into a new browser window, and that would leave my
site and the current page visible. One problem I've found with that
strategy is that when the reader returns to my site for further perusal,
the window for the external page they were just visiting drops behind the
window containing my site.
So then when the visitor clicks another link, the external page appears in
the window BEHIND my site. Is this inevitable or is there a cure for this
problem?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cordially, Mary McWilliams Johnson
