Hyperlink Display in Frame Options

Question

Hello,
I am working in RH7. In creating hyperlinks to various
topics, sites, etc., I have wondered how I might use the different
display options: Page Default (none), New Window, Same Frame,
Parent Frame, and Whole Page.

I get the use of the Page Default and New Window, but I am
unclear how the other options behave and how I might use them.
Mostly I am looking for an explanation of what the options do when
used. We are using WebHelp as our primary layout if that helps.

I have attempted to research these options but I haven't
found any real guidance on them. I hope someone in the community
can enlighten me. Thanks in advance from a relative newbie,

TW

Hi TWThe other options would be used if you had created a Framesettopic. A Frameset topic divides the browser (or frame) intodifferent areas. The basic frameset consists of the frameset HTMLpage and two topic HTML pages. One topic appears inside one frameof the frameset and the other appears inside the other frame.So if you had a link in a topic that appeared inside one ofthe frames of the frameset, you might employ one of the otheroptions to elicit certain behaviors.* Same Frame displays the linked topic in the same frame youare in* Parent Frame leaves the frame you are in and causes thelinked topic to consume the space the frameset formerly consumed* Whole page causes the linked topic to leave framesetsentirely and display the content in the whole browser window.Hopefully that helps to enlighten you. Cheers... Rick
