I have a web application that uses two frames, menu and content. The content displayed views, and documents also opened here. Now we have upgraded to R6.5.2, this no longer works. The documents now open in a new window.
I’ve tried everything to get them to open in the content frame and now I’ve had to create an tagged column with a target=“Content”. I know there are other entries in the forum about this problem but I couldn’t find an adequate solution. It seems to me like this is a major issue. Anyone found a way of solving it?

Are you using a view template form? If not, please do so. Are you using an embedded view on that form? If not, please do so. In the embedded view properties, do you see fields labeled Target? Try putting your frame name in there.

Andre,
Thanks for the response. I am using a view template but not an embedded view. Are you saying I need to embed a view based on a formula just to get documents to open in the same window as the view itself? I hope this isn’t the case.

You’re using a $$ViewBody field now, I suppose? I think the easiest way is to use an embedded view, yes. Why wouldn’t you want to do this?
I suppose you could instead use the HTML Head properties of the form to set the base target for all links on the form.
