 Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2009 4:08 am Links not opening in correct frame. |
 |
|
|
I am having trouble getting my links to open in the correct frame.
I have a basic set up with two frames, one has drop down boxes to different systems and links that i use and also has a view of my folder.
The other is a blank frame until a link is called to open in it. <-- which isn't working.
Here is the code I'm using:

<FRAMESET COLS="*, 79%" FRAMEBORDER=NO FRAMESPACING=0 BORDER=0>

This is the main page code

This is the code being used in Frame 1.
Frame two has an .html document but is a blank document.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appriciated. I'm still a novice at this but I cannot get my head around why it's not working as everything looks ok.
NB: if anyone was wanting to access the links to test them, the majority of them won't work as the link to internal systems/drives.
Thanks. |

Why is it necessary to use two forms with list boxes when it could be done with a simple dropdown list? It is not a wise idea to show blank pages on entering a site. There should at least be a page that says to choose a menu item so users don't think the site is broken or not working.
Frame1.html

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, I've only just got round to getting it :S
I have copied what you supplied into frame1.html but when opening the main interface I only get a webpage with text - INTERNAL LINKS & EXTERNAL LINKS. I cannot click or hoover on these to bring up the actual links.
Is there something I need to change or add?
Like i said I'm a bit of a newbie at this so bear with me.
The blank webpage is not an issue as it's only going to be myself that is using it.
Thanks |

My bad, I gave you the layout for a horizontal menu instead of a vertical. Here's the new code.
Frame1.html
| Code: |
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Drop menu</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
// JavaScript Document
startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
}
node.onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
}
}
}
}
}
window.onload=startList;
</script>
<style type="text/css">
ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
width:150px
}
ul li {
position: relative;
width:148px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
/* keep folowing styles together..........................*/
* html ul ul {
margin-left:-16px;/* ie5 fix */
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
}
* html ul li {float:left;/* hide float from ie5*/}
* html ul ul {
width:148px;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
}
* html ul ul {margin-left:0;/* hide margin from ie5*/}
/* keep above styles together .............*/
li ul {
display:none;
background:#ffffcc
}
li ul li{border:none;}
/* Styles for Menu Items */
ul li a {
display:block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #777;
background: #ffffcc ;
line-height:2em;
height:2em;
padding:0 5px
}
/* this sets all hovered lists to red */
li:hover a, li.over a,
li:hover li a:hover, li.over li a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: red;
}
/* set dropdown to default */
li:hover li a, li.over li a {
color: #777;
background-color: #fff;
}
li ul li a { } /* Sub Menu Styles */
li:hover ul, li.over ul { display:block } /* The magic */

Your frameset page should look like this. Replace the
<frame src="Frame1.html"
<frame src="Frame2.html"
with the correct sources
| Code: |
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Gibbo's Interface</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="*, 79%" frameborder=NO framespacing=0 border=0>
<frame src="Frame1.html" name="Frame1">
<frame src="Frame2.html" name="Frame2">
</frameset>
<noframes><body>
</body>
</noframes>
</html> |
Make sure your links are correct;
frame1.html and Frame1.html are two different documents. |
