Hi... I was wondering if there is a way you can disallow pages being replaced. This particularly happens when you click on a link on an application (e.g. register links). The last page you opened gets replaced with the register page for that application. I'm currently writing a web page, and I do not want any application to replace my page. Is there a way?

Thanks.

don't really get what you want... could you specify it a bit more?

thanks

I'll example further with an example:

Let's say I have MS Outlook running, and I was looking at sports news at espn.com. Then, a mail comes in, and that mail has a link to an article at foxsports.com. If I click the link, espn.com will be replaced by foxsports.com. Assuming that I am the web developer for espn.com, I don't want external applications (such as Outlook) to replace my pages. How can I prevent the espn.com page being replaced by the foxsport.com page?

Hope I've cleared uncertainties.

Thanks.

Errrr.... you mean opening the link in a new window? then use "target"

<a href="www.google.com" target="_blank">google</a>

No... if every link had the target as _blank, I wouldn't be having this problem. Some links are designed to load up the contents on an existing browser with this JavaScript:

window.location.replace("newPage.htm")

Is there a way that the existing browser refuses the contents of other links to load up???

Thanks.
