Using Visio HTML output within frames

[varma.pothuri]

Does anyone know how to take the output from the Visio html export
filter, and use it within a frame of another document?

Essentially, I want to put the frame based html from Visio into a frame
of another document.

The links only seems to work properly if the links open up a new
window. If they open up in the current window, nothing happens when
clicking the link.

I want to do it dynamically. Is there any option to modify some
parameters while saving the .vsd file as HTML

Thanks,
-Varma

Hi Varma,

I haven't fully dissected the html-output that Visio produces, but I'm sure
you could manipulate the output files to your liking. It's just that you'll
have to look through them very carefully to understand all the bits and
pieces that get produced. Not fun, but do-able.

Also, I think the Publish... button that you see when you Save As Web...
allows you to specify a template to which Visio outputs the html. I don't
fully understand what this is and how powerful it is, but someone who
understands html better than I might be able to do more with this setting.
