Why does this one link keep opening in a new window?

    HTML was never my best subject so I don't know why this is happening. I used Dreamweaver CS4 to create hotspots on a navigation image for my new page wrongstars.com. The email link works properly, and the "Links" link opens the Links page properly. But the Home link keeps opening the index in a new window. I don't get it, here's the code generated:
    <img height="200" hspace="0" src="images/menu3.gif" width="205" usemap="#Map"
    border=0> <map id="Map" name="Map"><area shape="RECT" target="Home" alt=""
    coords=67,3,132,23 href="index.html"><area shape="RECT" alt="Contact"
    coords=3,64,29,135 href="mailto:comments@wrongstars.com"><area shape="RECT"
    alt=Links coords=76,176,129,197 href="links.html"></map>

    Anyone know what I'm missing?

    I know that in a <a> if you have "target=_blank" it opens a new window for you. You might want to try to remove this target="Home" in the "<area shape>". Let us know how it goes!

    Yes, it's probably your target page. Check it twice.
