Freeway Reference: Working with Frames
196

Setting the border for the frameset
To set the border width for the frames within a frameset page:
1. In the Inspector palette, view the Frameset General
panel.
2. Using the Border width option, specify the desired width
of the frame border in pixels. If you set the border width
to be zero, web browsers will display the frames without any border (which is the same effect as turning off the Show Borders
checkbox).
Specifying a name for a frame
To set the name for a frame, so that it can be explicitly
referenced by a link target command or within a script:
1. Select a frame.
2. In the Current Frames panel of the Inspector palette,
type or paste the desired name into the Name text field and
press Return.
Targeting links
Using link targets allows you to decide where the result of clicking on a link will appear. Link results can replace the contents viewed in
a different frame or frameset within the same frameset page, replace the content of the entire browser window or appear in a completely
new browser window. Individual links can be targeted in the Hyperlinks dialog while all links on a given page can be targeted in the
Page panel of the Inspector palette. There are preset targets available but you can also define your own by naming frames.
Setting a particular frame as the target of a link
1. Give the target frame a name as described above. The name is added
to the list of known targets for the document.
2. Select the text or item that is being linked on.
3. Choose Hyperlink… from the Edit menu to bring up the Edit
Hyperlink dialog box.
4. Using the Target popup menu, choose the name of the desired
frame from the list. The target name appears in the Target text
field. Now, when the link is activated in the browser window, the
result of the link will appear in the named target frame.
Note 2: When targeting links, you can type a name into the Target text field for a
link before you have named the intended frame. However, if there has been a typing
error or if for any reason the browser can’t find the frame target, it will open a new
window. This will also happen if you have removed or renamed your frame. Always
name the frame, and then choose this name from the
Target popup menu when
applying the link. If you change the name of a frame, make sure you update the links
which have that frame as their target.
Note 1: It is also possible to
type the name of a target directly
into the
Target text field. This is
useful when the frameset definition
is contained within a different
Freeway document or in an
external HTML page.
Setting a default target for all the links on a page
Although you can target links individually, this can be wearisome and inefficient if many links on the same page all need to share the same
target. It is possible to set a base target for a page, so that all the links contained within that page will use it by default without any further
action required.
To set a base target for a page
1. Change to the page containing the links.
2. In the Page Output panel of the Inspector palette, choose the name of the desired target
frame from the Target popup menu. All links on the page will now target this frame, unless a
specific target is defined for individual links.
Using the predefined link targets
In the Target popup menu, you will see four predefined link targets. You can use these to cause
the link result to do one of the following:
• Replace the contents of the entire browser window.
• Replace the content of the frameset containing the frame that contains the link.
• Open in a new browser window.
• Open in the same frame containing the link (this last is the browser default, and does not
need to be specified).
Note: Although in HTML it is possible to mix the border attributes used
in different nested framesets within the same frameset page, this is not
supported within Netscape browsers. Freeway therefore only allows you to
set the frame border width for the page as a whole.
Note: Setting a frame name does not affect either the page title or the
file name that will be used. Using words that are reserved commands in
HTML or JavaScript as frame names may lead to unexpected results. If link
targeting or references to the frame name in a script fail to work as expected,
try changing the word you have chosen for the name to something else.
