Creating a hyperlink from a drop down menu in to a iframe

post@idamsn.com · #1 07-13-2007, 03:12 PM

I use a drop down menu up to 3 levels down from main.
And I have inline frame in my page.
But I can not link my menus in to my iframe.
How do I do?
And also I wonder if I have to create one page to each menu and level?
And what would the whole name look like?
For instace: Main menu "ABOUT US", drop down "GUIDELINES" which both should appear in my iframe.
I have created a template called MAIN.

Rest of the features are ok. :)

I have never used a program like this to create a website, but I am well familiar to using Microsoft Words. :)

Best regards from Ida.

Hi, your iframe should have a name in the iframe properties box. (Lets say its called f1).
When you want a page/image to open in the frame, create the normal link as you would to any other page, but add f1 in the target field box.

Good luck.

Thanks!

My iframe is placed in my template.
Inline frame properties; name, URL
Shall I then name i "if"? And what would the URL look like?
The iframe is not alone....

Hello again. :)

Now I got it right with the hyperlinks! :)

Tanks a lot!!!

BUT.......

Now I have another problem.

When I have published my sites, and clic on the link to my page, I get the question if I want to open or save?!

And either way, it dont come open as a website, but as a BlueVoda document. What have I don wrong?

If I give my pages a .html extention, they appear as only text in the web.......

heeeeeeeelp..............

Are you publishing to a VH server?

What is that?

post@idamsn.com · #7 07-13-2007, 09:09 PM

No, I use a domain from Surftown. :)

Hi,

Please give us a link to your site so that we can have a look.

Select "DIVERSE" from the menu on the left side, then select "X".

It is not supposed to be on this side, but I have put it ther for now, just to see. The address to the real site is built up at the same way as this.

I cannot see from your link, but reading your last question again, I think you might have linked to your BVP file and not your html file. Just check that link quickly.

post@idamsn.com · #11 07-13-2007, 10:20 PM

When I link to it comes only as text..........

Tom vR · #12 07-13-2007, 10:35 PM

Could you perhaps delete that html file on the server, then re-publish it? We'll figure it out just now...

post@idamsn.com · #13 07-14-2007, 02:06 AM

I have done that now, but it is still only text displaying.

Tom vR · #14 07-14-2007, 12:01 PM

Yep, I saw your problem just now. You are definately linking to your BVP file on your hard disk. This is what you are linking to "BV-hovedside-template.bvp"

You must link to the url (your html page that is already published). I trust that you know how to link...

Let me know about the progress.

Tom vR · #15 07-14-2007, 12:08 PM

I have just downloaded your bvp template onto my pc. It appears that you have uploaded your bvp file to the server and you are linking to it. Delete the bvp file from the server.

Before you publisk the page with the problem link, make sure about the linking. Type in the url, then publish.

Hello.

Now I have done all that.

The link is now to a .html page. http://www.idamsn.com/bv_hovedside.html

But still it is not working proper.... Only strange text appears.

Could it perhaps have something to do with my BlueVoda?

Every time I close BleVoda, I get a message: BlueVoda has encountered a problem and needs to close.

And when I open my BlueVoda map on my PC, and click on a page to open it, I get a mesage saying that "Can not find".
But when I open BlueVoda, and click on open an existing page, all is working proper.

Hi, are you on a Norwegian server? As Bluevoda will only work with the Vodahost servers. ns1.surf-town.net
