little story:
our department has 'dashboard' utilize quick links , tools utilize often. guy developed original page found new job - , no 1 else in our department knows html @ all. volunteered project figuring learn bit , try new. not sure if bit off more can chew though.
long story short original page designed literally in 90s wanted see if aesthetic updates on top of functional updates. i've managed teach myself enough understand basics, i"m trying develop functional updates seem running troubles.
there tool our department uses called "associate search" it's company directory use part of our call center duties. if put first or last name search field associates photo, department, phone extension, etc.
the problem i'm running - when clicking link opens new tab in ie , chrome. want link open open in same page - same side bar.
i've attached screenshots show i'm thinking. apologize if huge newb question - 100% newb @ lol appreciated.
here site looks like:current page
here rough idea of i'm trying achieve:
current code:
<!-- nav --> <nav id="nav"> <ul> <li class="current"><a href="#">home</a></li> <li><a href="#">archives</a></li> <li><a href="http://***.com/public/associatelookup.asp">associate search</a></li> <li><a href="#">contact me</a></li> <li><a href="#">contact me</a></li> <li><a href="#">contact me</a></li> <li><a href="#">contact me</a></li> </ul> </nav>
usually pages open in new tab when link has target="_blank"
attribute set on them. check in code if there such thing, remove , see happens.
