If you don't know how to use JavaScript, you will have to be VERY careful using multiple scripts.

The JavaScript for popup windows allows you to name the new window. If you have that as the same name as your target, of course you're going to have problems.

So if you have a frame called "main" and you name the new windows "main", the browser assumes you mean the new window "main", not the frame "main".

When in doubt, use unique names for all targets and new windows. Some people suggest prefacing all window names with a unique set of characters, in your case, perhaps gg_, which would alleviate any mistakes.

Well Since I have figured out the problem with the pages loading into different windows I may go back to the orginial design.

Thanks for the compliment, nice to know that people like the personality of the family!

I am not a big fan of Iframes. In my wittle bitty opinion me thinks they are a waste of real estate especially with your site. When I bring up the military page I have to scroll the page a lot to get it to where I am comfortable reading which makes all the links disappear. If you are going to keep them you might consider getting rid of some of the white space at the top.

If you are still working on this forgive me for jumping the gun.
BTW, i like your site. I know it isn't finished but it already has personality.

Yup, planning on keeping it in an IFrame, and I'm still getting the graphics done. Just wanted to test out the pages first! I can see what you mean, I will have to space them out or something.

Sara,

Are you planning to keep the IFrame?

Just a comment on the graphic links...they are taking up way too much of your screen space in my opinion. Also, they sorta run together. At first I thought they were a sentence. Maybe I just need coffee but I was thinking to myself...what the heck is a "Military graphics model house".
LOL...

Well, bringing this back up to the top again. I went and looked at the code for both of the pages. It was a script I was using for pop-up windows! Yours actually, Suzanne.
I took the script out of both of the pages and it works fine now. Yay! So, now I have everything in an Test
IFrame and I'm on the hunt for a gallery like script to show off the thumbnails...

Anyone have any links? I have been to some of the usual places, but there are tons to try. I see how I will be spending my Sunday. I was hoping to get one someone is happy with, loves, etc.

I know! ACK! So back to the drawing board for me...I think I will just do text links at the top of each page like I had originally.

Thanks for looking.

IE6:

oh, that IS weird and I'm not awake enough to have a clue why. Choose a menu option from the home page and it opens in the frame. Page back and choose the same option, it opens in a new window. Refreshing the browser fixes it temporarily.

Maybe it's just me? Nope, no underscores for the targets.

Thanks Suzanne...could just be an IE quirk or something. But it did it in Netscape too...

Works as intended in Opera.

You have some images being called from your hard drive, though.

Make sure you don't use an underscore for your target names.
