Visio 2003 Hyperlink Target Problem

[goldtar]

I am hosting my published visio files within a frame in another html
file. When adding a hyperlink to the visio shapes I have no method of
controlling the target.

Within the gif_1.htm file I can change the link and specify the target
however this seems to have no effect.

Has anyone got a way of getting round this?

Thanks

You mean, you want a click on the hyperlink in the Visio drawing to update
the contents of the other frame???

Thanks for the reply

My query wasn't very clear. I have a file called index.html that holds
my menu system at the top and a frame called "drawings" that takes up
the rest of the page. I load some of the visio drawings using standard
href in my menus, however when a visio file is then loaded into the
drawings frame and I click on a link within the published Visio file it
does not open within the drawings frame instead it seems to use _top
and the new page fills the entire window.

Thanks

I am experiencing the same problem. In a nutshell, I have an html doc that
contains 2 frames, side-by-side. I have the drawing (using Visio Viewer) in
the left frame and a detail window on the right. In Visio, I set up the
hyperlink to target the "detail" frame but, when it's clicked, it loads in
the left (drawing) frame instead. Adding a BASE TARGET to the left frame
document doesn't help either. Other links on the same page will target the
detail frame, but the Visio Viewer links just load at the top level.

It's driving me crazy! Maybe this is an issue with Viewer? How does one
successfully target a hyperlink to load into a different frame?

Thanks for any insights.
