NetObjects Fusion allows users to open link targets in existing frames and pop-up windows.
As explained in Understanding Frames, when a site visitor clicks a link placed within a frame, the browser has to know where to display the results. The frame that displays the retrieved content is the target of the link; when you specify which frame is to display the results of a link, you are targeting that frame. NetObjects Fusion includes four default targets. Choose:
_blank to load the specified link into a new browser window.
_self to replace the frame where the link resides with the document of that link. This is similar to how links behave on sites with no frames.
_parent to load the designated content into the current window’s parent. If the current frame has no parent the content is loaded into the same frame as the element that refers to this target.
_top to load the designated content into the full, original window. This cancels all other frames. If the current frame has no parent the content is loaded into the same frame as the element that refers to this target.
To display the designated content in a new named window, you can create a new link target.
To set a link target:
In Page view, select the object or text that you want to link.
Click the Link tool on the Standard toolbar.
The Link dialog appears.
Select the type of link you are targeting: Internal Link, Smart Link, External Link, or File Link and set up the link. See Creating Links .
In the Target area, choose Existing target from the drop-down list.
In the Name area, choose a default target from the drop-down list.
To display the designated content in a new named window, click Add and type a name for the window in the Custom Target dialog box. If a window with that name already exists, the content is displayed in the existing window.
You may not need to assign a target. NetObjects Fusion automatically targets most internal links for you.
Click Link to close the dialog and create the link.
Preview the page to test your targeted links.
To display the designated content in a new pop-up window, you can create a new link target.
