Target Cell

[Guest]

I have a four cell table for my church's website. The top left and top right
are static. The bottom left is the navigation cell. The bottom right is the
viewing cell. I am unabel to designate the viewing cell as the parent. When
I click on hyperlink, the cell layout is not there to designate it.

This was available in previous versions so I am unsure why it is not
available now.

Help!

Thanks in advance

Are you thinking about frames?

When you talk about "Target Cell" I assume you're actually tallking about
*frames* and *target Frames pages*.

Can you please confirm that this is actually what you meant?

To answer the question (concerning target frame pages): to make a link open
in a different frame, you just need to go to the hyperlink properties,
choose the frame-name you want the linked page to load in. You would need
to have given your frame/pages unique names such as "top" "footer" "main"
"navigation" or similar, so you know which you want to open where. Read FP
Help on Frames for assistance.

Tables do not have "parent cells" unless the tables are nested - then
the parent would be the table cell holding the child table (this is not
the correct nomenclature) but this cannot be targeted by a hyperlink in
the sense I think you mean. If you are thinking of frames (as Rob's
suggestion) the parent (in your example) would be the frameset page; you
should be looking for the target frame.

It would be better for your users and, in my opinion, for the web
designer, if you stick with the table layout. Use FrontPage include
pages to populate the static areas (top row and navigation), or use a
Dynamic web Template (FP2003 only) for the static layout and attach to
content pages.
