Multi Language opens second page

[pwired]

Hi

I have multi language working on a site that I am working on.

mydomain.com/en/

mydomain.com/de/

mydomain.com/es/

If I have mydomain.com open in my browser and then in the browser address bar

I type /de/ so there will be mydomain.com/de/ and hit enter

it opens the german part perfectly. Same works for spanish with /es/

Doing so no new page opens in the browser.

However if I put 3 language flags in the navbar and link each flag to it's language

(for example german flag in the navbar linked to mydomain.com/de/)

then the browser opens a new page and shows there the german text.

same thing when clicking on the spanish language flag.

So when I click on the german flag and then on the spanish flag,

I have 2 new pages opened in my browser.

How can I avoid this and stay in the first page with the default language,

so when for example I click on the german flag no new page is opened

in the browser.

you don't have target="_blank" defined in your anchors?

[pwired]

I will try immediately

[pwired]

Yes I see target is blank there in the template

this is the code i have :

<div id="flags" style="float: right; position: relative;">
	
	Select Language
	
	<a target="_blank" href="http://domain.org">
	<img alt="flags"
		src="/site/templates/styles/images/english_flag.png">
	</img>
	</a>

	<a target="_blank" href="http://domain.org/de">
	<img alt="flags"
		src="/site/templates/styles/images/swiss_flag.png">
	</img>
	</a>
	
	<a target="_blank" href="http://domain.org/es">
	<img alt="flags"
		src="/site/templates/styles/images/spanish_flag.png">
	</img>
	</a>
	
	</div><!-- @end #flags -->

So, there you have it...

[pwired]

I don't understand, should there be target blank or just not ?

[diogo]

Shouldn't be. With target blank the links will open on a new page(window).

Target blank tells the browser to open a new tab/window

Edit: Like wot Diogo said.

[pwired]

yes, it's working now, thanks !!

Clumsy me, sometimes the easiest html things can get me pulled.

I have to admit that I copied and pasted the code from somewhere else

into my template.

[diogo]

No problem in pasting things from other places, but make sure you go through them before

I am doing this 3 column responsive website and learned a lot. I will delete everything this week and

start from scratch again with everything I learned.
