    I tried setting the anchor's target to "_parent" but that did not seem to work.. can anyone help?

    click on "Select Realm ..." then choose a realm, you will see what I mean! How do I make it target the parent window!

    Leave the target out completely. If it still opens in a new window it means you set the browser to override the web page's settings.

    no, the popup with the realms is supposed to open in that smaller, new window

    however, when you select the realm, it is supposed to load in the main window

    do you get it?

    I'm not sure how to achieve what you're looking to do. However, if you find yourself completely stuck, you might want to try this solution.....

    http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/popit.htm

    It won't create a separate pop-up window but it will provide all of your desired links in a virtual pop-up, allowing them to open in your main.

    Hope it helps! :)
