Linking to new window

[Guest]

When establishing a hyperlink why is it that sometimes FrontPage allows the
link to open in a new page (at my request) and sometimes a hyperlink will
ignore my request to open in a new window?

Check that you haven't set the page default to "open in new window". Fred

When you make the request are you saying; please?

Seriously, how are you making the request? Outline the steps you are taking.

Read his post again, Fred.

Switch to code view and make sure the page containing the link that refuses to open in
anew window does "Not" have a base href set in the head section of the page.

If so delete it.

Steps are as follows:
I highlight the appropriate text box and right click on the crosshair.
Click on Hyperlink...
Choose the folder and *.pdf file (not embedded in a page)
Click on target Frame and choose New Window
Click OK

Based on your reply, perhaps the *.pdf file needs to be on a page.
Another problem is that on this particular page
http://www.moreincomeforlice.com/programs/index the text boxes keep moving
off of the layer every time I close Front Page. The page on the remote
server is fine but I dare not publish this page to the remote again without
totally reconstructing it.
Thanking you in advance for your help...
Tom

More income for LICE ??

Anyway, if your website is moreincomeforlife...you have lots of textboxes
which are VML and are proprietary for IE (well some other browser will
display it, but don't count on it), and use absolute positioning.

Well, it's not like lice are the fatcats of the world, and everybody (thing)
needs a little helping hand now and then.

Rob,
Thanks a million! I would never have guessed that all of my problems with
FrontPage were one in the same...the use of a MS subcontractor's language and
MS's indifference to the flaw.
Anyway thanks for the hint and thanks to Google for the search results.
Tom

Not sure what you mean about MS subcontractor's language...but it's not
exactly a flaw - those features were designed that way..to work primarily
with IE. You just need to be aware of what you can use, and there's lots of
stuff (not necessarily MS stuff) that won't work cross-browser very well.

IIRC, I don't think you can hyperlink to a textbox directly...I may be wrong
about this its been a long while since I've worked with anything from the
Draw Toolbar.

Since VML code is not compatible with most browsers, what do I use in lieu of
text boxes or auto shapes to display text or fill effects?
Tom

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

You would have to create images of shapes. You can use CSS or tables to position text on a page.

[Ronx]

Use tables or <divs> to lay out the page. If you need a border round some
text use CSS to define the border
example to place a border around a single table cell:
<td style="border: solid red 1px">Some text with a red border</td>

For autoshapes - use a graphics editor.

See www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/vml-graphics.htm shows some of the bad
effects with VML. Resize the browser and use different browsers to see the
disadvantages.
