Ask_Frames Question
Hi

Trying to implement Ask_Frames. I changed link.html to reference jump2.cgi instead of jump.cgi.

When I click on a detail link it opens the new page as I expect in the lower frame with a frame at the top containing navigation links.

If I click 'home' in the top frame it opens the home page in the top frame.

I would expect it to remove the frame and open the home page in the whole window. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry if this is a basic question still feeling my way with this software Smile

Thanks

I don't have banner_frames.html.

I have jump_banner.html, which is the default, unchanged.

OK, problem solved. I knew it was something really simple. Just needed to add target="_top" to the hyperlink definition.

Can anyone help me with the next problem: I want to add a 'back' button to the top frame which returns to the previous page. Can't figure out which parameter to pass it.

Thanks

Thanks Ryel01

It isn't part of a form, it's a plain hyperlink. I've been trying various things found on the web and in other places on this forum but no luck so far.

I'll figure it out LOL

D'Oh! Of course the simple java history code wasn't working - because the frame was opening in a new window and there was nothing to go back to in that window...

Problem solved by setting the frame to open in the same window.
