Ok, go to http://SoulForge.rdlg.net and Click the "Driving Directions"
link.

That page looks like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>SoulForge3 bits by Nomad</title>
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://SoulForge.rdlg.net/sf-style.css">
</head>

<div id="content">
<BR>
<A href="mailto:Robert.L.Harris at gmail.com">Send me Updates or Changes</a><BR> <BR>
<A href="http://soulforge.ipbhost.com" target=_top onMouseOver="window.status='SoulForge Forums'; return true">SoulForge Forums</a><BR> <BR>
<A href="fmain.html" onMouseOver="window.status='Main Screen'; return true">Main Screen</a><BR> <BR>
<A href="Directions.html" onMouseOver="window.status='Directions around town'; return true">Directions around town</a><BR> <BR>
</div>

<div id="content2">
<b><font SIZE=+4>Nomad's SoulForge links</font></b> <br> <br>
On this site I'm linking all the information and links I've created as
well as what I've collected from others.  If someone else created it
and I've mirrored it locallaly I'll put a "By" line.  If something is
incorrect please tell me, I may have been given bad information, etc.

</div>

When I click the "Driving Directions" link, it overwrites the whole
window, not just the "content2" box.  When I run some of my CGI's they
open a new window.  I haven't converted them to this new format yet,
doing that now.

Thus spake Jay Loden (jloden at toughguy.net):
