What does the target="contents" mean in Frontpage?

In my website all of our hyperlinks are opening in new windows and the target
reads "contents" and we have no idea what that means. Is there an easier way
to change the target without having to go through every page and changing the
target on each hyperlink?
Thanks.
 
Usually this would be in a frameset where the main frame is
named "contents"

Find & replace, find in html, search all pages

The solution is what Mike provided, so do search and replace of

target="contents"

with

target="_top"

You could do a find replace and replace it with an empty string, or replace
it with target="_self". FrontPage would normally add _blank, _top, _self, or
_parent as these are the four values defined in HTML. Other values are
usually set when working with framesets.

Out of curiousity, which version of FP is causing this problem and is does
it occur when you create a new page with new hyperlinks?

If you do a global find and replace for "target='_content'" and replace it
with nothing, all pages will open in the same (default) window.
 
Mark,
IIRC, target is going is or will be deprecated.
