Targeting Webhelp within a frame set

[Guest]

Our Webhelp runs within a frame set. The lower frame displays a copyright note and the upper frame (named, say, abc) displays the actual webhelp - no problem so far.

The problems arise when I try to reference the webhelp in toc entries. When I include target="_top" then all is fine, except of course that the lower frame dissappears and the webhelp is displayd on top level which I dont want. But when I include target ="abc" (or whatever the frame name is) then the target attribute is simply ignored by the webhelp script. BUT, if I include target ="def" - an undefined frame name - then a new browser window is opened correctly. The target attribute is only ignored when is addresses an EXISTING frame name.

Any ideas on this or is it simply though luck?

Hi, Robert,

What happens when you let the WebHelp TOC do its own thing?

Hello Robert -

Why not include the copyright note into the top-right frame of RoboHelp by the "Powered By" - or try what we do and have the copyright info as part of the "Powered By" pop-up (we changed the name to "About IRIS" where IRIS is the project name).

Regards,

Thanks for the ideas, we put the copyright into a positioned div-element that hovers at the bottom of the TOC. This avoids the need for a top-level frame set and everybody is happy now.
