When a visitor clicks on a link.

Is there a way to stay on the current window instead of going to the tab ?

Html? Any other code or way to do this?

    Do not add the target tab.


    If you add
    a target="_blank"
    to the link, it will open in a new page.

    There should be option in your website provider where you can set this up.

    If you're using HTML and you want your link to open in the same window, normally you don't have to do anything. Otherwise just add the target attributes in your html code: target="_self" not target="_blank" as this will open the link in a separate window.

    <a href="mylink.com" target="_self">My Link</a>

    Here are available target attributes:
    _blank = Opens the linked document in a new window or tab
    _self = Opens the linked document in the same frame as it was clicked (this is default)
    _parent = Opens the linked document in the parent frame
    _top = Opens the linked document in the full body of the window
    framename = Opens the linked document in the named iframe
    i. e. <a target="_blank|_self|_parent|_top|framename">

    If you're using WordPress, just highlight link holder then click Insert/edit link and 'uncheck' the Open link in a new tab radio button.
