Single Hyperlink to multiple target frames

I wish to set up a hyperlink which opens up two or more target frames with
different content.

I have accessed the Microsoft Knowledge Base and found Article ID 825496
covering this subject but couldn't get success with it - I am not a
programmer. I did howevertry it but nothing happened.

Is there another and simpler method?

Thank you,

David
 
David,
Hi from Aus also (Canberra, actually)

I just tried to find the KB article and got this response
No results for: KB825496

Can you provide further info.?

I don't think there should be a problem in getting a link doing two things

The code would be like:
<a href="#" onclick="function1();function2()">Click me here</a>
where function1() and function2() perform each of the actions you want
 
Hi Trevor,

Welcome from Tea Gardens!

Strange you couldn't get the article because I have it in front of me and
what it says is similar to what you are suggesting. The Keyword on the
bottom of the article is kbhowtomaster KB825496.

Best regards.....David
 
Hi,
I haven't been to Tea Gardens in ages. Nice place as I recall

Found it (the KB article, that is) :D

I had to enter "Knowledge Base" into the search first and then the KB number
into the next screen that came up. Maybe I went to the wrong MS site.

I have had a bit of a read. Have you got it working yet?
If not, I may give it a try and see what happens
 
Hi Trevor,

Glad you found the article, but I still haven't been able to make it work.
Probably me because I have little experience in programming and I am
terrified of screwing everything up!

I might add I am quite surprised this facility isn't part of the standard
system because I would have thought it was an important requirement. Do
MIcrosoft ever partake in theae forums? I have never been to one before.

BRgds....David
 
Hi David,
I'll have a look at this today. You can't actually break anything if you get
it wrong, but it's a good idea to backup code that works first before you
try amending it.

I suppose it does depend on what you mean by standard. Perhaps MS think the
information they supply is good enough. (I am only guessing.)

There are persons on the newsgroup called Microsoft-MVP 's. They are experts
whom MS has recognised as experienced in their field. (MVP= Most Valued
Person). They are not employed by or paid by MS, but you will see them
respond to the posts on the newsgroup quite often. Most of them seem to
read the site daily and reply as best they can.

I find that provided you give enough info on the problem, you can usually
get answers to your questions on one of these newsgroups.

IGBTY (I'll get back to you)

BTW, I am no expert. Just a retired programmer learning to use different
languages. (I didn't program anything on PCs in my carreer in the ABS)
 
David,
I have had a look but I am mystified

This is what is recommended :
<a target="rtop" href="/?scid=somepage.htm"
onClick="parent.frames[2].location.href='AnotherPage.htm';">SomePage</a>

I cannot understand what target="rtop" means. When a target is defined, it
must be one of several known (system-defined) targets: _blank, _parent,
_self or _top (_blank is the default) or a named target, i.e. the name of a
frameset. "rtop" is none of these.

I cannot understand what href="/?scid=somepage.htm" means. A reference
following href= must be the name of an existing html file (or it can be
blank). With an existing html file, one or more parameters can be passed
prefixed by "?". These parameters are read by that html file and used inside
it.

So href="/?scid=somepage.htm" says:
Link to file / (yes, the file name is a forward slash, although this *may*
mean the file you are in)
and pass to that file the parameter scid with the value "somepage.htm"

I followed the instructions in KB 31900 (which refers to FP2002, which is
the version of FP that I use) and I got code like this:
<a target="_self" href="about.html"
onClick="parent.frames[2].location.href='about.html';">Link Text</a>

I put "_self" as the target because I didn't know what to put. I also
didn't know what to put after href= or after location.href=, so I put (in
both cases) the name of a frame which exists on my site. "Link Text" is just
any text . (HTML doesn't care what it is.)

But it didn't work. (Surprise, surprise ! It didn't work for you ,so why
should I have any more luck :D )

So we may have to wait to see if an MVP can throw some light on this.

Or maybe I am having a senior day (again Big Grin)

Try

onClick="parent.frames[2].location.href='menu2.html';">Link Text</a>

where main_frame_name is the frame you wish the about.html page to
load, and frames[2] is the third frame defined in your frameset page,
but is not main_frame_name. The page menu2.html will load in this
frame.

See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/pages/frames/ for a working
example. The link in the footer changes the footer text, and the main
frame contents
 
Ronx,

Thanks for this info.

My understanding now is that if I have two ot more frames visible, using
this code will enable more than one to be loaded.
(I just tried your reference and can see that it does just that.)

David,
I will see if I can find the time to experiment with this today (wives often
distract you from using the PC :D ) and send you some code.

Hi Trevor,

What can I say but many thanks for the time you've put into this! And to
Ronx from Microsoft too. I have saved a copy of the detail in a MS-Word file
so I can peruse off-line and do a bit of "code pasting" when I fully
understand it.

I think I know now why I never became a programmer although having said that
I did Honeywell minicomputer assembler code many years ago! That dates me!

I'll let you know what happens.

I put "_self" as the target because I didn't know what to put. I
also didn't know what to put after href= or after location.href=, so
I put (in both cases) the name of a frame which exists on my site.
"Link Text" is just any text . (HTML doesn't care what it is.)

Try
<a target="main_frame_name" href="about.html"
onClick="parent.frames[2].location.href='menu2.html';">Link Text</a>

where main_frame_name is the frame you wish the about.html page to
load, and frames[2] is the third frame defined in your frameset page,
but is not main_frame_name. The page menu2.html will load in this
frame.

See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/pages/frames/ for a
working example. The link in the footer changes the footer text,
and the main frame contents


But it didn't work. (Surprise, surprise ! It didn't work for you ,so
why should I have any more luck :D )

So we may have to wait to see if an MVP can throw some light on
this.

Or maybe I am having a senior day (again Big Grin)

Hi David,
I'll have a look at this today. You can't actually break anything
if
you get it wrong, but it's a good idea to backup code that works
first before you try amending it.

I suppose it does depend on what you mean by standard. Perhaps MS
think the information they supply is good enough. (I am only
guessing.)
There are persons on the newsgroup called Microsoft-MVP 's. They
are
experts whom MS has recognised as experienced in their field. (MVP=
Most Valued Person). They are not employed by or paid by MS, but
you
will see them respond to the posts on the newsgroup quite often.
Most of them seem to read the site daily and reply as best they
can.

I find that provided you give enough info on the problem, you can
usually get answers to your questions on one of these newsgroups.

IGBTY (I'll get back to you)

BTW, I am no expert. Just a retired programmer learning to use
different languages. (I didn't program anything on PCs in my
carreer
in the ABS) --

Hi Trevor,

Glad you found the article, but I still haven't been able to make
it
work. Probably me because I have little experience in programming
and
I am terrified of screwing everything up!

I might add I am quite surprised this facility isn't part of the
standard system because I would have thought it was an important
requirement. Do MIcrosoft ever partake in theae forums? I have
never been to one before.

Hi,
I haven't been to Tea Gardens in ages. Nice place as I recall

Found it (the KB article, that is) :D

I had to enter "Knowledge Base" into the search first and then
the
KB number into the next screen that came up. Maybe I went to the
wrong MS site.

I have had a bit of a read. Have you got it working yet?
If not, I may give it a try and see what happens

Hi Trevor,

Welcome from Tea Gardens!

Strange you couldn't get the article because I have it in front
of
me and what it says is similar to what you are suggesting. The
Keyword on the bottom of the article is kbhowtomaster KB825496.

Best regards.....David

David,
No worries, it was fun finding out how to do this. I added to my knowledge,
so I have saved some of the thread for future use.

I learnt a bit of assembly language long ago too - never used it though :-))
 
Hi Trevor,

Excellent - it worked! But when I ran it the following error message popped
up:-

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file
(doesn't say which one???) from showing active
content that could access your computer. Click here for options...."

I did click and accepted the warning, but why should this be? I have
changed nothing else.

Thanks....David
 
Hmmm!!

David,
I have seen this before and posts on the topic. It seems that Windows XP
(perhaps the SP2 version) restricts ActiveX content.

The question is of course "What is ActiveX ?" I am not really sure, but I
have set the option to accept. This is usually safe for stuff you have
created yourself. I think that some viruses/spyware/trojan horses, etc,
(whatever you want to call these things) can invade you computer by using
ActiveX to do nasty things you don't expect or want.

The experts out there may be able to add more info.
 
Will happen on any page you run from your PC security zone,
- but not happen once you publish it to a server
Caused by any scripting in any page opened in the Local PC security zone
