Change target=_blank to target _self

Using Streamlit
#1

Hi guys, this is my first post and I believe that my issue isn´t hard.
I have the code
st.markdown(’’‘Page 2’’’)

But, in my web app streamlit, the target changes to _blank.
How do I fix this?

Thank you so much

Hello @italomarcelo

For including hyperlinks via markdown, the default behaviour is to open the URL on a new tab (which is equivalent to using target="_blank" in HTML.

For not opening the URL in a new tab, you can use direct HTML code in the st.markdown element with unsafe_allow_html=True and ask the URL to be opened in the same tab/window with target = "_self".

Here is an example -

st.markdown("""
    <a href="https://discuss.streamlit.io/t/change-target-blank-to-target-self/22809" target = "_self"> 
        Page 2 
    </a>
""", unsafe_allow_html=True)

Hope this helps :smiley:

<a href="https://discuss.streamlit.io/t/change-target-blank-to-target-self/22809" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">

</a>

Hi @italomarcelo

Please change target="_blank" to target="_self" in your code. That will solve the issue.

this was fixed recently, so just upgrade (to at least 1.8.1)
