hyperlink target problem

[goldtar]

In normal html I would type something like
<a href="index.html" target="targetframe">Index</a>

where the target frame could be an iframe. The html file will load
into the iframe every time.

I am completely lost as to how to perform a similar hyperlink from a
shape in visio. Ican't find any way to specify a target.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Folks

Can someone please help.

There is a Frame cell in the Hyperlinks section of the ShapeSheet, but it is
probably not what you want since it only works when Visio is running inside
the browser:

If you are trying to do this in the context of Save as Web, unfortunately
your best bet is to edit the html output.

Thanks Bill

I am trying to do it within the browser and have tried adding the name
of the frame within the browser that I want the new drawing to open in.
The name of the frame is "drawings".

I have entered this into the frame field of the shapes shapesheet but
it still opens in _top.

Any other thoughts?

Many thanks

What version of Visio are you using? This should work to my understanding.

I posted about this same problem a little over two months ago in the
developers thread. I still have no solution. Here's my setup:

In a nutshell, I have an html doc that contains 2 frames, side-by-side. I
have the
drawing (using Visio Viewer) in the left frame and a detail window on the
right. In Visio, I set up the hyperlink to target the "detail" frame but,
when it's clicked, it loads in the left (drawing) frame instead. Adding a
BASE TARGET to the left frame document doesn't help either. Other links on
the same page will target the detail frame, but the Visio Viewer links just
load at the top level.

It's driving me crazy! Maybe this is an issue with Viewer? How does one
successfully target a hyperlink to load into a different frame?

Another user suggested using a javascript bucket to get around the flaw in
the viewer but I'm not sure how it could work. (I replied to their post on in
my original thread in the developers section.)

Thanks for any insights. Hopefully someone can help!
