Click button to change text

[François]

Hi,

I am a newbie with Frontpage and web programming. I would simply like to
know what you need to do
in order to display some text (in the right pane let's say) when you click a
button (in the left pane).
If possible, I would like the page not to reload.

Thanks in advance

Hi Francois,

When you create the link in the left pane (frame) you'd target the right frame (pane)

<a href="text.htm" target="main" >Display Text</a>

In FP terms when you create the page click on the target button and select the right frame, normally named "main"

Howdy.

The usual approach is to first define a frameset. This
divides the browser window into several rectangular areas,
each with a name that you assign. Each frame displays a
different Web page.

Then, to make hyperlinks in one frame load pages into a
different frame, you assign a "target" attribute to the
hyperlink. For example:

<a href="chickens.htm" target="animals">Chickens</a>

loads the chickens.htm page into the animals frame.

In the FP GUI, you configure the target attribute by
clicking the Target Frame button in the Insert Hyperlink
dialog box.
