need some help with HTML

[zskillz]

alright here's the deal...
I want to redo the webpage for my research group (so it's not quite so lame looking)...
when I click on the link to the page, it opens in a frame of the current page (unless I right click and choose "open in new window")...

here's what I want. I want it to open my page outside of the frame automatically..

is there a way to do this??
if I can't do it automatically, I just want to put a link there to open it up as a full page...
suggestions??

thanks

Hi zskillz. Try adding this line inside your link tag, "TARGET=_TOP" w/o quotes (the link you are clikcking on). For example <A HREF="whatever.html" TARGET=_TOP>. Try that and see what happens. Also try go to <A HREF="http://www.pagetutor.com" TARGET=_blank>www.pagetutor.com</A> or <A HREF="http://www.webmonkey.com" TARGET=_blank>www.webmonkey.com</A> and there is info on those sites about your problem


Hope that helps.

In dreamweaver. Highlight your link, right click, targe frame, there you will have a variety of choices. Choose top. You will get your link to go the a full window.

Hey what the heck happened to my links in the previous post?? LOL !!


Hope that help

thx george.. I'm really new to DW4, and it is seriously pissing me off!

I defined a new site root, and everything seems to look fine, but when I open it in the browser to preview, it doesn't work at all!!

Have you set up your own intranet?? When you using frames you only can view frames in you own server(as far as I know). Go here and check their tuts.
www.tektips.com (http://www.tektips.com) www.macromedia.com (http://www.macromedia.com)
http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/technotes.html
For inserting flash in DW4. Go here
http://graphicssoft.about.com

If none of these sites help you. Just go any search engine and do a search on installing your own intranet in you pc with DW4.


Hope that helps.

George M is correct, but I would select _blank. This will open the page in a new window. You must save the entire frameset for this to take effect. Test it by pressing the F12 key.
