<h3> Home Content</h3>

<p>As you can see by clicking the links below.</p>
<p>Just the content in this DIV changes.</p>
<p>The 'main.html' page, this page does not.</p>
<p>I like this..</p>

<h3> About Content</h3>

<p>The 'main.html' page doesn't change.</p>
<p>What I can not figure out is the following.</p>
<p>Lets say the user clicks on a 'target="_blank"' link HERE.</p>
<p>On the new blank page are the same links as below.</p>
</div>
<div id="div003">
<h3> Galleries Content</h3>
<br/>
<p>What can I do to get those links on that entirely diff. page.</p>
<p>...To close itself while at the same time...</p>
<p>... going to the link on this page?</p>
<p>Closing itself won't be a prob coding.</p>
<p>The navigating is.</p>

<p>On a completely different note.</p>

As you can see by this layout, clicking the Footer Menus,
changes the content in in the middle DIV.
The 'main.html' page, does not reload.
I like this...
What I can not figure out is this;
Lets say the user clicks on a 'target="_blank"' link.
On this new blank page are the same links that are on the main.html page.
What can I do to get those links on that new blank page,
...To close itself and at the same time...
... navigate to the clicked link on the main.html page?
I know the code to close itself.
Getting the navigation to work I don't know.
The research I've done so far doesn't seem to present a solution.
On a completely different note, I've a 2nd question. Popped up while slapping this together.
Hope you don't mind my asking and that it is simple to answer.
This div layout works in all my browsers except...Internet Explorer.
Any idea what I'm missing?
Many thanks for any help.
