clicking link opens two copies of the same file
clicking link opens two copies of the same file
Hi everybody, I have to admit that I'm not sure whether this problem results from a server-side or client-side or from which part of my HTML coding (which I've also tried to do in Javascript). What's happening is that I have a page with four links to different MSaccess files on a network drive (simple enough). Whenever I click the top two links, MSAccess opens twice and two copies of the same file appear. On the bottom two links, only one copy appears. I've checked my html code (and tried the same thing in Javascript), and both were so simple (only 4 links or 4 window.open() functions) that I cannot understand why it's doing this. I'm running the program on a Unix OS, on company Intranet, and viewing with Microsoft IE v5.50. The only difference I can note between the two identical files that were opened is the placement of the file window in the MSAccess application window. One is right aligned, and the other is centered. The only other thing I can think of that's relevant is that this page is one frame in a much larger website...could some other frame/script be causing the error? Can somebody please tell me what's going on and where this error is coming from? This has got everyone around me totally puzzled. Thanks so much!

Haha
That's what I'm starting to think
 . Actually, I'm kind of new to the forums...and I thought these categories were mutually exclusive...silly me. Anyway, thanks for the help...but it seems like the siamese twin in my program is still on the prowl (sadly, the tips didn't work). Any other suggestions would be welcome though!-- thanx, serena

Would you please post the code in its entirety? Details about your browser, version, operating system, and version would be helpful. Oh, and also, why are you using file instead of http as the protocol for your intranet? Is it not inside a TCP/IP network?

not inside a tcp/ip network? what does that mean? you're just throwing around random jargons that you dont know the meaning of. It's probably just a browser bug. Try that page in netscape or try specifying the target as "_self".

What makes you say that I'm just throwing around jargon?
HTTP communication usually takes place over TCP/IP connections. This is the only reason I could think of she would want to use file:/// in the URLs over http://. Perhaps you'd like to point out where I'm wrong in my thinking?

first off... no ****.
second, there's no such thing as a tcp/ip network. TCP/IP is a protocol that is used to send data between nodes on a network, on the same network UDP can also be used. Networks are usually referred by their communication path, spacial distance or their purpose not by the protocol used in it. Last edited by kloc : August 11th, 2001 at 02:27 AM.

Uh, oh... better tell O'Reilly. These guys seem to have it wrong too: <http://proxyfaq.networkgods.com/prxdocs/htm/prenet.htm>.
Dude, get off your high horse. It's so obvious you're just trying to save face now -- you still haven't indicated what I wrote that merited you to write "you're just throwing around random jargons that you dont know the meaning of".

Oh, I see what you're getting at. She indicated the site was on an intranet and mentions MS Access (as a matter of fact, all of the files are MDB files), so I'm guessing the server could be on a Microsoft network of some kind (though, after reading her post for a third time, I notice she mentions that the application is running on a Unix OS -- though not which one specifically, so this may or may not be accurate). The lack of accurate details in her request for help caused me to be open in my questioning and to not make any assumptions (I've come to learn assumptions aren't always useful things, over the years
 ).
