DOCUMENT:Q158814 13-MAY-2002 [frontpg] TITLE :FP: How to Link to Two Target Frames Using a Single Hyperlink PRODUCT :Word Front Page PROD/VER::1.1 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbusage kbdta ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows - Microsoft FrontPage for Windows 1.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For a Microsoft version of this article, see Q194099. SUMMARY ======= If your FrontPage Web includes a frame set page, you can set a link to specify the frame in which you would like a page to be displayed. This article explains how to create a link that will be displayed as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) in a frame. (You can also use this procedure to display URLs in multiple frames.) NOTES: - The code in this article will function only in a Web browser that supports JavaScript. - ImageMap hot spots will only refresh one frame as extended attributes are not available in the Image Hotspot Properties dialog box.

In FrontPage Editor, open the page on which you want to create the link. 2. Select the text you want for the link and click the Link button. The Create Hyperlink dialog box (the Create Link dialog box in FrontPage 1.1) appears. 3. Click the Current Web tab or the World Wide Web tab. In the Page box, type the URL of the first page that you want to load. 4. In the Target Frame box, type the name of the frame set in which you want the first URL to appear. 5. Click the Extended button, and then click Add. 6. In the Name box, type "onClick" (without the quotation marks). 7. In the Value box, type the following code parent.frames[].location.href=''; where is a number indicating the frame in which you want the resource to appear, and is the URL of the page that you want to appear in that frame. NOTE: Frame numbers start at 0; hence, parent.frames[2] indicates the third frame in a collection. For example, this code parent.frames[2].location.href='otherpage.htm'; loads Otherpage.htm into the third frame in the collection. If you want to load additional frames, repeat step 7 for each frame you want to load (separate each new entry with a space). 8. Click OK three times to accept these changes and return to your page. Method 2 -------- 1. Point the hyperlink to a new frames page. 2. Set the initial pages of the new frames page to be the desired pages you want the hyperlink to point to.
