Hi Roziao

Normally you would do this by creating what we call a frameset. Click File > New > Frameset and you should be able to define the frameset. You will give the frameset file a name, then choose how it is presented to the user. You will likely choose the two pane frameset. After you do this, you then assign one HTML page to display in one of the frames and another to display in the second frame. After you have it all defined, you then establish a link to the frameset. Your user clicks the link and tadaaaa! They see two pages load up. One in each frame of your frameset.

Hopefully this was what you were looking for... Rick

but the problem is you are totally correct with the frame set but when i tried with it then
it showing content in two diferent frame but on a single page not showing both fram in different page .and there is no sepration between frames means no seprater mark line is there.

Hi RoboWizard,

Your reply below is leading me to believe I can display two pages in two different frames from a single hyperlink, but I find this is not possible in the RH UI. Here is an outline of my experience with frames (limited though it is!)...

I have a topic called Blurb.htm that displays on a non-frame page. I want to click a hyperlink from Blurb.htm to open a page containing Outline.htm in a 'Details' frame on the right side of the page, and Contents.htm in a 'TOC' frame on the left side of the page.

When I create the hyperlink in Blurb.htm I am required to select a topic and specify which frame to display it in. Example, I select Outline.htm and specify the 'Details' frame. How do I also specify that when it opens Outline.htm in the 'Details' frame I want it to also display Contents.htm in the 'TOC' frame?

I have previously followed some advice using information from either your or Peter Grainge's website (sorry, it was a while ago now and my memory is failing me exactly what instructions I was following), but I had no success. Is this something you need to alter in the html code?

After completing some other work I am now jumping back to this where I ideally need to open two pages in different frames on the same page from a single hyperlink. Would you please expand further explaining how I can achieve this?

Many thanks,

Liz
