Link Bars, Frames and files from Excel or Word

M

Mike Charney

I have an intranet that works well for teh most part. The only problem I am
having is when I have a frames pages that displays a word document, or excel
sheet, both of which are saved as html. I can goto the page ok, but when you
click on the link bar to move to another location with in the site the new
page opens up in the main frame window and not the whole page.

Is there a way around this? I know some VB and VBA but it has been limited
to MS-Access programming and not FP. I have FP2003 with IIS5 running on
Server 2000 standard.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Set the links in the link bar to have target="_top"
example: <a href="page.htm" target="_top">link text</a>
If you are using a FrontPage navigation linkbar, this cannot be done -
FP linkbars were not intended to be used with frames.
If every link in the page is to open in the whole page, then you could
instead add
<base target="_top">
in the <head> section of the page in Code/HTML view.

I found a way around the problem. I changed the page from using frames to
using an iframe on the page and it works fine now.

Thanks for the info.
