Problem setting target frame of url link

When I set the frame property of a hotspot link to _blank and then save and reopen the document, the frame property is empty. I have a web app that has content in a rich text field that needs to open links to other sites in our intranet in a new window. My app has several frames and it is confusing and unsightly having the links open in the content frame.

I’ve tried everything. Besides setting the frame property as I already mentioned, I’ve tried setting the Other tag on the HTML properties of the link and also of the rich text field to Target=“_blank”, tried setting the default target of the frame to _blank. No luck. Even tried using the Midas SetTargetProperties method.

What makes me even more baffled is that I have a hardcoded ‘Printer Friendly Version’ link on the same form that opens a copy of the current doc in a new window. I set the HTML Other tag on that hotspot to Target=“_blank” and that worked fine.

Is the field set to save rich text as MIME?

Thanks for the idea, Ben, but unfortunately that wasn’t it. (the “store contents as…” checkbox is unchecked).

btw - this form has a call to an agent that uses Midas for other reasons and it works wonderfully. In debugging this problem I tried commenting out the call to the agent just to eliminate Midas as a factor. The ‘frame’ field on the hotspot properties box was still cleared out after saving and reopening the doc. (I didn’t really think Midas was the culprit but had to eliminate any possibilities)
