Redirects when I click a link, but works if I type the URL

I have a MacBook with Tiger and Safari. All currently updated. I have an email with a link to the person's homepage. When I click it, it goes to his old homepage, which used to be listed in his emails. If I type the URL in the link, it goes to the new page, as it should. It doesn't do this on any of my other computers (two macs, two pcs).
Can't be a host file, or typing the URL wouldn't help.
I used Onyx to clean cache, including system cache. Cleaned cache from Safari. Deleted the Safari cache from my libray/users/caches/ folder. Restarted, rebooted. Deleted cookies, deleted history.
What could be doing this? More perplexing, how would it know what link this guy USED to use in his emails, but no longer does?
Spooky...
MacBook Windows XP Tiger, of course

Interesting suggestion. I installed PithHelmet (Pretty cool, by the way) and told it to remove the referrer headers. No joy. Still doing the redirect. You are on to something as to how it's doing it, though. I'm using Yahoo mail. If I log into another mail account using this machine, and click this link in a message, it goes to the right page. So, the link is only broken on my machined, while logged into Yahoo mail AS ME.
If it's any more help, the correct site is an iWeb page. The old one it keeps sending me to instead is on geocities.

How the page should redirect when we click a link using sessions

Hi Friends,
I have two links namely Gujarati and English in the page. before logon to the application, when i click the Gujarati link, the total content of the page should change to Gujarati and for english as same..How to do this using sessions and Internationalization(i18n).
It can be easy if anybody is using Property files and resourcebundle.
Thank you..

I will give u a very simple example of using session here.
Lets say you have 2 links in your HTML or JSP page: Gujarati | English
In you nextPage.jsp, you need to do the following:
<%@ page session="true" %>
By using page directive with session attribute to true will make HTTPSession implicit object available with you in your JSP.
Now you can save your request parameter lang to this session for further identification of user's selection for the language.
This is how it can be add user selected language into sessions in JSP:
<%
session.setAttribute("Language", request.getParameter("lang"));
%>
To retrieve this value for further usage, you can use the following:
<%
String lang = (String)session.getAttribute("Language");
%>
If you are using servlet instead of JSP, you can handle the same by having following lines of code in your servlet:
To set a value or object in the session:
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
request.setAttribute("Language", request.getParameter("lang"));
to retrieve a value or object from the session:
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
String language = (String)request.getAttribute("Language");
I hope this helps to solve your problem for having selected language using sessions. Once you know which language the user has selected you can use internationalization to convert your pages to other languages.

When I click on links, it always takes me to the websites homepage

When I click on a link for a website, instead of taking me to exactly where the link was supposed to, it sends me to the main page associated with the link. For example, if I click on a link on google for a product on amazon, instead of taking me to the actual page with the product, it just sends me to amazons homepage. How do I correct this?

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

When I click a link, it opens 2 tabs with the same window

I am trying to open a link from a website. When I click it, 2 tabs with the same site open. It's only on a few links. How can I fix it?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

When I click a link to open a new window, the new window appears in the bottom right corner and I have to drag it up every time to enlarge.

This problem only began today and only with Webkinz.com
When my daughter went to login, the new window where she logs in was in the bottom right corner. I pulled it up to the display and it stayed there. When she tried to log in again later on in the day, the login window appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen again.

Open Firefox -> Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now you can Enable the Add-ons and it should be ok. Check and tell if its working.

At times the cursor that usually appears when you click on a textbox on a website (or the url bar in FF) does not appear

If, say, a textbox contains some text (such as the address bar contains the URL), you can just click on a certain position of the string and, for instance, remove a letter. Sometimes this doesn't work with Firefox anymore. I can only select all the contents of a textbox, and there appears no cursor at all in whatever textbox I click on.

The location bar generally shows a mix of bookmarked sites and history. You can change what appears in the bar using the Preferences dialog, and you also can just delete one or more history results or sites. These articles should help:

Why doesnt my hyperlink url enable when I click enable hyperlink? i-web either deletes the url or creates a different url

Every time I create a hyperlink url and then enable it- the url deletes itself or switches to another url- please help ! thanks

You mean the deletion occurs in the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane? Is it a link to an external Page? Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home()/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.

Hi yesy
If you are sure you disabled your AV/antispy and you get the flash of a licence it sounds like you may have a malware infection. Look out for posts by b noir and get hold of ewido - its a free AV programme - google and you should find.
BTW, you may be in Florida and I'm in the UK, but don't shout - you're just next door in cyberspace!:) I understand your frustration coz I've been in your place. There are some really helpful folks on this forum - seek, and you shall find!

Hi ...
Installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed then try purchasing Aperture.

Barney,
I have four groups.

Invalid Address
"<group name>" does not appear to be a valid email address. Do you want to send it anyway?
I clicked continue and it remains in my outbox.
Help is appreciated.

App Store displays "too many HTTP redirects" after I click a link of the app from a browser. Help.

when i click a link to the app on the app store the browser closes and opens up the app store. after 3-5 seconds, a message pops up saying "too many HTTP redirects"
i tried to reset all settings, still the same error
i tried changing DNS servers, still the same error
i tried changing security encryption on the wifi router, still the same error
i tried to free up available space to 3GB, still the same error
i restarted, still the same error
This error occured 2 days after i updated the device to 6.1
the app store alone works fine, but when i clicked a link of the app from a browser, the app store displays this.
I'm using iPad Mini 16GB wifi
can someone help us eliminate this annoyance (or bug, i might call it)

It may be some apps on your iphone that is causing that.
Nope. The security on iOS means that no app can interfere with the OS or any other app. An app may crash, but it cannot cause any other app to crash or misbehave, and no app can affect system functionality, like networking.
you could download a virus protecter from the app store if you can acseess the app store.
Nope. The same security in iOS means that not only are there no viruses (or malware of any other kind) for iOS, but also that anti-virus apps are not possible. They would not be able to scan anything except themselves, which would be singularly unuseful. Thus, there are not actually any true anti-virus apps in the App Store. There are a couple that can scan your e-mail for you, but that is achieved through connecting to the IMAP server where your e-mail is stored. They cannot scan the phone.
