I have a dropdown form that takes users to an interactive quiz on various subjects, based on the specific dropdown link that they select. The first time this happens, it works correctly because the user is actually taken to the appropriate quiz. The NEXT time that same person goes to the main page and selects a new quiz on another subject, the quiz will load -- but it does not load in the open browser window, it loads behind the main page -- so it often tricks me (and no doubt others, too) into thinking that the page hasn't loaded at all. Is this normal? It happens both in Safari & Firefox, but I've never noticed this behavior before in browsers. Is there any way to force the selected URLS to not only load but to actually appear on the screen of the person who has selected them? Thanks,
Have you checked the target values set for each link in the dropdown? This behaviour is known to me when the link first opens in a new tab, and then going back to the main page and clicking on that link again will open in the exact same new tab even if that tab was used to open another website in the meantime. The confusing thing about it is that the tab doesn't turn active so you might have to start searching for it.
