I have a website that was created in PP (win xp home/office 2000/PP) and its
been running very well when viewed in internet explorer (IE).
Since I have upgraded (win xp home + SP2/office xp/pp) the hyperlinks are
acting a bit odd.

I have made some content amendments to various pages since upgrading and
uploaded them, but know if I click a link on my latest front page it opens a
new IE brouser page, but when I click "Home Page" to go back it, it stays in
the new window and opens up a new copy of the front page. By the time all my
pages have been read the user will find a has a screen full of windows, each
carry a copy of my front page.

I would prefer that the all pages within the website could be viewed in just
one window as it was berfore..

You can view the problem by clicking arround within www.jchcaravans.co.uk

Thanks for your time and any help you may be able to offer.
 
PowerPoint's HTML save feature is a powerful tool for putting presentations on
the web.

At the same time, it's a horrible way to create a whole web site.

You might be able to fix the problem by locating each instance of

target = "_blank"

and deleting it, but I'm not positive of that.

You may also want to set your web publishing options within PPT to be a bit
more inclusive (ie, add support for earlier browsers). I viewed your site in
Opera and while I got no error messages, I also got nothing but a blue
background on any of the "child" pages linked from the main page. In MSIE6
with security set rather high, I got a message that the site requires a later
version of Explorer (!) to view it properly; then more blue pages.

<commercialism_rears_ugly_head>Our PPT2HTML addin (free demo at
http://ppt2html.pptools.com) could get round most of these problems quite
easily and give you the option of having your links open in individual windows,
one common "child" window or have everything work in a single window. Choice
is good. We LIKE choice! <g> </commercialism_unrears_ugly_head>
 
Thanks Steve....I'm very new to creating web pages so used the only tools I
had at the time....I was also unaware of the lack of compatability
problems....since I upgraded I know have a full copy of Front Page and have
been trying to recreate my site with it, but am finding it rather unfriendly.

Can you suggest a beter application ?

I'm probably the wrong guy to ask. I usually use Notepad for editing HTML.

I'd certainly try to tame Front Page though, rather than working with PPT.
