Hi, I have a frameset with left Frame and right Main frame.Currently, all element in left frame are opened in Right main frame by set the property of "Default target " to Main frame in left frame property.
Now, I want to add new URL link in left frame, but I want to open it in entire window, Not inside of Main frame on right. How to make it working?
I tried: @SetTargetFrame(“_blank”), then using @OpenURL(“http:google”), but this does not work,
Any idea how to make it working? thanks a lot,

Hi, Peter. If you are inserting a Hyperlink, Action Hotspot (w/ @OpenURL) or Link Hotspot in a page or link in an outline that is displayed in the left frame, there should be a Frame setting associated with the entry in the outline or a Frame setting in the link/hotspot properties on the page. Set the Frame setting to _blank for the link and save the page or outline. This should open the link in a new window.

Hi Dave, thanks for your help,For this case, I can not use frame setting, because there are many links in that left frame which is page with embedded outline, those links will open notes view on right main frame, they used the frame setting which set to open it in right main frame.
But this new added hotspot with URL link will NOT open on the right main frame, I want to open that website on the entire window.
I found on the help with the formula somethink like this:
@OpenURL(“http://www.blahblah.com”,“_blank”), but no sure if this can open the url l ink to a new window which is not the right main frame. I will try it tomorrow.
Please let me know if you have other ways to achieve my goal. thanks

Peter, I believe you’re misunderstanding me. You can set a target frame for the entire outline on the page but this will not affect the target frame for the hotspot. For the hotspot, if you want to use simply use @URLOpen( urlstring ) as your formula, right click the hotspot(if you’re a right handed mouse user) to bring up the hotspot properties. There is a Frame setting in the first tab of the dialogbox that comes up. Just put _blank as the Frame setting for the hotspot and save the page. Do you understand how to do that?
