Link from any page to an Iframe?

[FredS]

Hi,

Can I acces an I frame on i.e. from any link within the entire site? Or just from the parent page.
From the parent page I can target the Iframe, as soon I am out of the parent page I cannot see in the target dropdown menu the Iframe, is that correct

Great stuff

thanks

Fred

Hi Fred,

An I-Frame can only be targeted if it is currently visible.

For example, if you have an I-Frame on a page called contact.htm but you are currently viewing index.htm in your browser, then a link on index.htm can not target the I-Frame on contact.htm - because your web browser has no idea which web page the I-Frame is on.

However, if you have an I-Frame on a separate page that you have included on the current page using a Page Include Layer in Antenna, then you can target that I-Frame by entering it's name into any link Target property. The rule still holds: the I-Frame must be currently visible for it to be the target of a hyperlink.

For reference the Welcome Example that opens when you first start Antenna features several buttons which link to an I-Frame. When the buttons are clicked the I-Frame contents update to display the linked page, but the main page remains the same.

Cheers,
