stop site redirect

how can a web surfer stop from being redirected to another website when he clicks on a specific link,

in other words, links often take you to a website that you were not trying to get to, i tried disabling javascript, but it didn't work,

how can i stop the redirecting and get to the right website ?

I'm presuming you're talking about opening the new web site in a new window, you can do this by using the following code in the 'a href' tag:

Code:

target="_blank"

For example:

Code:

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a>

That would would open the web site Google in a new window, therefore the user will still remain on the previous website in a separate window.

I hope that is what you're in need of, if not, then try to explain what you're looking for in more detail.
