Problem with invocation of a single instance of a jsp page

Hi experts...
Lets say that i have a link and when i click that link i go into that jsp page.
But when i click that link again another instance of that page is got when the previous page is already present.Now there a two instances of the same jsp page.
How can i restrict that link to invoke only a single instance of that jsp page???
Please help...

check that the a tag does not have a target attribute
if it does then remove it

Mick Barry

if you actually want it to open a new window then give it a name instead
eg. target="mywindow"

Check ur windows option . you will set as open in new window !

If any user tries to open the jsp page even when an instance of the jsp page is already present
i.e If a user tries to open that jsp page without closing the previously opeaned page.
I need to display a message in an alert like already opeaned.
How do i do it...
Please help...

Mick Barry

not sure you can easily.
What it will currently do is reload the opened page

GAUTAM

ASKER

@objects:How to prevent it to reload and save the page contents as it is if any changes in the further locations take place.
It would be better if that page would not reload.
Please help...

Mick Barry

not sure how you would achieve that
