HTML links drillling down

[jdalrymple]

I upgraded from Visio 2000 to Visio Professional 2003, to
be able to use the new vendor's stencils.
I am now not able to drill down (link) after creating a
html page, to another html page, which I was able to do in
Visio 2000. it looks like it seeks the "home" page again.

I found the following in "help:

Hyperlinks
The hyperlinks I inserted on pages in the drawing don't
appear in the Web page.

Below is information I found on your pages, am I on the
correct path?

While you can insert hyperlinks on pages in Visio
drawings, hyperlinks on pages are not currently supported
in Visio Web pages. If you know how to edit HTML code, you
can manually add code to create hyperlinks on pages in the
Web page version of the drawing.



Hyperlinks in drawings saved as Web pages
Hyperlinks in shapes are saved with the Web page. People
viewing your Web page can navigate to hyperlinks by moving
the pointer over shapes with hyperlinks and clicking the
shape.
Multiple hyperlinks are supported in Internet Explorer 5.0
or later. Multiple hyperlinks appear in a context menu
when a shape with multiple hyperlinks is clicked. For
browsers or output formats such as SVG that don't support
multiple hyperlink display, the default hyperlink is
displayed when the shape is clicked. If no default
hyperlink is set, the first hyperlink in the list is
displayed.
Note Hyperlinks from pages are not currently supported
for drawings saved as Web pages. If you know how to edit
HTML code, you can manually add code to create hyperlinks
on pages in the Web page version of the drawing.


Can you be of any assistance?
Do I need to go back to Visio 2000?

Hi,

Here are some information to link the html output from Visio 2003's Save as
Web feature. In this example, you have two Visio drawings, and you have a
hyperlink on a shape in drawing 1 to navigate to a target page in the
drawing 2 html output.

Create the hyperlink on the shape using the Visio hyperlink dialog, with the
following format:

...\drawing2.htm?page=Page-1

Output both drawings as HTML into the same local folder. Copy the folder, or
the contents of the folder, up to a web server. (NOTE: If you do a save as
web directly to the web folder using UNC, you'll need to close the browser
that appears and reload it using HTTP).

Basically, a relative path is used to load the start page of drawing2 and a
parameter is used to tell that page to navigate to the target page. This
will only work on a true HTTP web server (since parameters are used).

parameters, see
