I am trying to get the results links when clicked to open into the main window.
Not sure whether or where to use either target="_blank" or window open()
this is the line that prints the link:output.document.write(desc[itemp].bold() +"<br>" + links[itemp].link(links[itemp])+"<br>");
Any help would be appreciated
