DW CS3 - open browser window issue

I've set up some text links to open a new browser window and it's working fine.
But - the original page (from where the link opened the new window) is also
loading the same page as the new window. I want the original page to remain
unchanged. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks in advance for any help.

hmm, sounds like you may have solved your problem in an undesirable way.
I am guessing now, but your solution replaces the href value with # ?

That will work, however it will also make it impossible for folks with
javascript turned OFF - or Search Engines which do not use javascript -
to reach your linked page. Instead do this:

<a
href="http://www.temple.edu/photo/photographers/cartier_bresson/pages/boy.htm"

onclick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.temple.edu/photo/photographers/cartier_bres
son/pages/boy.htm','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=40 0,height=500');return
false">Henri Cartier-Bresson</a>


Notice I inserted ";return false" in there. Now everyone will get to
see your linked page, with or without javscript.
