It seems everything I click on is making a new window. Is this happening to anyone else?

By the way I am a darksider.(Mac user) if that makes any difference.

It's doing the same thing here (using Safari) but I usually hold down the Command key when I click anything anyway to bring it up in a new tab to avoid having to navigate back. Holding the Command key still works, it doesn't open any new windows.

FireFox (also on Mac) is not doing the same thing so my guess is it's a setting in Safari.

Hi guys...last nite I removed the google ads from the buttom of the page and added the search
for sign supply box. I'm thinking it has to do with the script that runs that is not working with the macs. I'll have to do some searching and see how to fix it.

PS...Thanks Bill & Todd for helping [Smile]

Con't, When I hit the "Add Reply" button it does post in another new window but the original reply window stays open and when I manually close it, it throws up a warning window that I haven't submitted it.
Just a tidbit of information that may or may not help Barb.

Are there any Mac users that are not having the
new window pop up issue, that can just click on the back button instead of having to hit the x ?

Barb, I don't have the problem when I use FireFox on the Mac, it only happens when using Safari.

Barb,
I'm not sure what software you're using, but the little bit of web window opening I've done is set by an option finding an option called "target=" and setting it "blank" reopens new screens inside the same window, while setting it as "new" opens each clicked link in a new window.
(from memory, that is. There are ways of inserting the same instructions into the heading code of a page, but in dreamweaver, there's an option to set it with just a click, at the bottom of the screen in the options/info/navigation/whatever-it's-called toolbar)

Hope that helps!

Thanks Ian...it looks like the problem is with
the Safari browser [Frown]

Is anybody using the Safari browser that isn't experiencing these problems?

It's all Sawatzky's fault. Dan says he can crash any computer. Now that he has a Mac, he crashed all of yours too.

Same thing here using Safari. Was never a problem until a couple of days ago. Camino browser seems fine.

You can always go to the window menu in Safari and select "merge all windows" to put them back to tabs. Not ideal but doable until Barb gets this figured out.
