[ismailc]

Hi, I need help please.
I have a page with a stylesheet that is read from an aspx form.

On the form I have an hyperlink object - which iIwant the targeturl to open within the current frame where the hyperlink object is in.

I read that i need to set it in my target="frame name"

but i don't know what the current frame name is, is there a way i can have textbox using javascript showing me the name
of the current frame.

or any other idea on how i can open the hyperlink's Targeturl within the current frame.


Please Help...

Regards

If the link is on the page in the frame or iframe, it will open in that frame or iframe. No target is required.

Thank You for the assist:

I have an navigation bar & on selection the aspx form appears below with the hyperlink object & when i click it opens over the entire page & not below the navigation bar - i want it to be below the navigation bar. i can't see a frameset name.

The links opens on current page - is there a way i can define a frameset within & if so how? - so that i can set the target of the link to open below

Please help

I've moved this to the HTML forum for the time being because it seems to be about basic HTML.

To have a frame or iframe, it must be in the source code of the page. You can put it there using javascript, but it is much easier and usually much better to have it there already.

Regular frames are a little trickier because they require a special sort of top page called a frameset. Iframes can go anywhere on an ordinary page. Either a frame or an iframe may be given a name attribute in your HTML source code.

Once a frame or iframe has a name, ex (using iframe):


<iframe src="whatever.htm" name="myIframe" width="300" height="250"></iframe>

it can be targeted by a link:


<a href="another.htm" target="myIframe">Link Text</a>
