In the html editor in moodle you can create a hyperlink then you give that hyperlink a target ergo same window, new window, same frame... i understand that the same frame option should load the webpage but the moodle header should still be at the top this does not seem to work. any incite into the problem, or how to fix it?
for me when i click the above links three of the four do the exact same thing while the other actually does what it clames to do???

Hi Jeff,
I have experienced the same problem. I have found that once you select the target (new window, etc) you need to click a blank area within the dialogue box i.e., just to the right of the target drop down menu. This in effect deselects the target and the link then works as you selected.

We are also getting an error when we try to make a link open a new window. We cannot seem to get images into the HTML editor and apply the new window target. It just doesn't stick. The work around is that you can obviously just change it in code view.
However, this method of applying target="_blank" is pretty painful for those who have to edit activity information with lots of information on a page. Especially the teachers/managers who are really hesitant to even look at code view.
Any ideas?
Unfortunately, I'm not bringing ideas, just more quarks. I've worked around most of the problems discussed here by hand coding and holding my tongue just right when I save. I've been able to use links in a 'composed web page' and have those linked pages appear within a frame with the moodle header still visible. Wikipedia pages, however, will not cooperate. Unless I select 'new window' (or hand code 'blank') it will eliminate moodle when it loads in the same window. In other words, it leaves moodle and the back button will not return it to moodle (unless you pull down the 'back' history and manually select the last moodle page). I don't want to have all these links open in new windows because users will end up with a gazillion windows open.
I learned hand coding so long ago that my memory doesn't cooperate much either, but it's there code that will open one new window and let you reuse that? Or does anyone know a way around Wikipedia's window control issues?
