Frame like action on Web Pages

[Guest]

I tried to follow these instructions but I just get a normal link.
What page do I insert the web component on?
Can you give me a little more step by step?
Thanks A lot,
Christa

hard to tell since the orig thread is missing.

but..

create a page just for your menu..lets say christamenu.htm

then in whatever page(s) you want to Include that menu into you'd Insert | Web Component | Included Content | Page, then browse to christamenu.htm and click Finished. Now the menu (or anything else) from christamenu.htm will appear on any pages you decide to include it on - BUT if you want to make changes to the menu...you ONLY have to change the christamenu.htm page.

To control placement of the christamenu.htm include you'd probably want to place the include into tables on the pages you want it to appear on.

Here is my original post:
I would like to make a page that has the links on the left. When you click on
the link it would pop up in the same page just in the middle. Would this be
frames or tables?
Thanks,
Christa

I want to click on the link in one part of the table and have the
information show up in the blank area next to it when a link is clicked. All

You would either have to use a standard frameset or an IFrame.

Ah ok, I guess chris leeds was giving you an alternative to using Frames.
Only use frames if you have to though.

I like the alternative but needed more step by step instruction for loading a
page into a center table cell on the same page.

Create the "holding" table on whatever page you want...place cursor in the cell you want then follow the previous directions for inserting the Included page into the cell.

I'm not sure this will give you the effect you want or not...but you should try it anyway.

As my previous emails state i did try it. I could not get it to work.
That is why I re-posted to try and get a little better step by step
instructions or a link.
Thanks though
Christa

Chris are you still around? Will you help point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Open your web in FP.

Create an experiment page...call it experiment.htm
On this page insert a Table with 9 cells...but something (anything) in all cells except the center one.
Save the page.

Create another blank page call it insert.htm.
On this page put an image or a menu or whatever you want...don't worry about background color or tables or anything.
Save the page.

Go back to experiment.htm page.
Put your cursor in the middle cell of the table.
Click Insert | Web Component | Included Content | Page
then in the dialog browse to insert.htm
Click ok, ok, ok....whatever.

Now will will see the content from include.htm appear in the middle of the table on experiment.htm page. Then you can do this for any pages, and if you want to change that content on the destination pages all's ya gotsa do is change the content on insert.htm page (you can name these whatever you want).

Hope this helps. This will work for most menus too.

Rob,
OK, I guess I am not asking the right question.
I followed the instructions and it worked.
But, I only want the insert page to show in the middle cell after a click on
the hyperlink in one of the cells on the experiment page.
Right now, the content shows all the time and when I click on the hyperlink
a new page opens instead of the insert page opening in the blank cell on the
experiment page.
????
Thank you for all the help.
Christa

Then you're back to inline frames I think - depending on what you want to appear in the center cell (or frame). I don't use frames at all...have no use for them.
