Can this be done - I have an alpha bar at the top and a list of definitions
in my inline frame and want to link to the top of each letter in the inline
frame by using bookmarks.

Thanks

Set the frame target value to the name of the inline frame, then create the bookmark as:

pagename.htm#bookmark

Tom.. i did get that to work.. now another question... here is the scenario

htm with inline is called definitions.htm (which has an alpha bar and the
inline frame)
the inline frame is called a-z.htm
a bookmark in the a-z.htm is called Def-E.

How do I link to the Def-E.. but opening defintions.htm

thanks for your help.
 
Are you saying that the page with the inline frame is called definitions.htm
and the frame itself is called a-z.htm? And you want to click a link on
definitions.htm and have it open the same page inside the frame?
 
David,

I have an outside infobase that i need to link to def-E (bookmark in the
inline frame) and I want the Definition.htm file to open (so they have access
to the alpha bar to look at other definitions it needed)... but in the inline
frame i want it to go to the bookmark Def-E.

Hope this makes sense.

thanks.

Ok, with definition.htm open with the IFrame, you would create your links on the definition.htm page
as a-z.htm#Def-E.

I don't think it is possible with just plain HTML to actually link to definition.htm and load the
IFrame with a-z.htm#Def-E, if that is what you are trying to do without actually create individual
pages.

Is there any functionality out there, doesn't have to be iframes, that i can
have an alpha bar that will always be on top and the definition list that i
can link to from an outside source and bring me directly to a bookmark in the
bottom frame.

or any ideas that would accomplish what im trying to do?

thanks.

You can use an IFrame, as long as you all the links you want to open in the IFrame, on the same page
as the IFrame.

You can use a standard frameset, as long as you have a page within the current frameset with all of
the links you want to open in another frame within the same frameset

I would put the alpha bar above the inline frame and the contents of the
definitions inside the frame. Set up all the bookmarks on the page in the
frame. Then, when they click on the alpha bar it takes them to that section.
Since the alpha bar is above the frame they always have access to it if they
want to pick another definition.
