i have set up my directory "financial-accounting-software.co.uk/directory" so that when click a link it opens that link up in a new window in a framed page.

however it does do this but it also opens up the link in the current window as well?

any idea of why this is happening?

Well. to be honest, I never thought that feature was all that um... scrupulous, so I can't say I tested it a whole lot. I even thought about removing it. but, it was my goal to extend features, not remove them on the base script I started with so it remains.

So you have used the admin configuration page and set the the bottom most setting "Use Outer Frame:" to Yes correct ?

If you also have the Thumbshots option enabled... hrm, yes there can certainly be some confusion about how the browser should react.

In /include/functions.php line # 682

change

Code:

<a target=\"blank\" href=./out.php?ID=" . $sites_array[site_id] . ">"; [/code to [code] <a target=\"top\" href=./out_frame.php?ID=" . $sites_array[site_id] . ">";

If I've completely missed the mark, maybe tell me where your installation is, so I can see how it behaves.
