Fp 2000, Drop Down Menu & Frames

[cscottm]

Hello All,

I took over the webpage at work. I am using frames, (I don't remember
the frames names but I have a top, left, & bottom & the main area. On
one of the pages I cannot change will come up in the main frame. This
page has a drop down. If a user selects a option from the drop down,
the new page will load as full screen (thus I have to click back) I
was wondering If I was to add the target="main" (or whatever the
mainframe is called) will it keep the frames & open in the main
windows, or do I need to move the pull down to the left side.

basically the frames look like

Hi,

I use frames too, although the experts here don't agree. One day, I will try
includes or whatever the alternatives are

Lets call your frames "head" "foot" "side" and "main"

You say your drop down box is opening as a new window. This implies to me it
has the parameter target = "_top" (although this may be implicit - not
actually coded as such).

To get what you want, I think you need target = "main". The trouble is that
when you close this, where will you go to? - you menu was loaded in "main"
also, so you would have to reload it on exit. Pressing the back arrow should
do this. Or perhaps you could add this button to the page loaded:
<input type="button" value="Go Back" onclick="history.go(-1)">

Experts, am I barking up the wrong tree ?

I've seen in the past web input fields that included a mini text editor for
input into that field and when the data was submitted, the formatting went
with it (in html I assume) (This would be found in an admin section of the
site on an editor/add page)
