Frameset: Target Frame

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi:

I have created a Framset with 2 Frames, one small for navigation on Left and a bigger one on right as target. All work well.

The problem is, I actually got a number of databases and a lot of views to tied with.

Exp:

  1. DB A

      - View A1

  - View A2

  - View A3

  2. DB B

      - View B1

  - View B2

  - View B3

  3. DB C

      - View C1

  - View C2

  - View C3

and more…

this make the navigation pane on left come with a very long list. Since each of the dbs itself already has the views, I intend to have only:

  1. DB A

  2. DB B

  3. DB C

where each of this is link is tied with the database itself, it shall then show me all the views inside the db, instead of I have to specify each of the view one by one which has already been designed in the db itself.

I found that when frame is tied with db, the target frames no longer works as it will open the entire db and the current framset is replaced, user can no longer see the frameset as portal without using the back button. Of course the target frame work well on view, folder, navigator…

Any smarter solution? Hope you all understand what I’m trying to ellaborate here :))

Thanks!

Use _top frameas one that changes (it’s HTML specification for frames), and switch to preferred frameset in DB A/B/C.

Then to switch back have an “Go Back To Main Database” link that does exactly the same - _top as frame address.

This should solve it.

I do understand the _top but I don’t understand how this would be my solution?!

Let me repeat again, when I have one of the frame, example Left frame (which is actually from Outline in Page), if the “Content” is assinged with “Link” where I copy the database onto it, the target frame will be replace entirely by the database; but if the content is Page, folder, etc…it works.

Pls help!

Look :

TopFrame | LeftFrame | RightFrame

Starting Values :

DBAll | OutlineAll | WelcomePage

someone picks something in OutlineAll - you open at _top frameset from DB A/B/C

in outline be sure to include line that goes to main DB with _top as target frame.

Tx for the reply Nahum for the attempt to try, I truly appreciate it; but I guess you are more and more had misunderstood my questions.

Let me repeat it again. MY TRAGET FRAME WORK. NO PROBLEM.

I need a solution on: HOW TO MAKE MY TARGET FRAME NOT TO BE ENTIRELY REPLACE IF I TIED IT WITH DB LINK; OTHER THAN THAT, IF I TIED IT WITH NAVIGATIOR, VIEW, PAGE…ALL OK.

DETAILS:

i actually got a number of databases and a lot of views to tied with.
