Tip

Frameset URL

Have you ever needed a URL to open a view, document, page but it needed to be opened within a particular frame of a frameset. The real beauty of this method is that you can provide a link that will open anything that can be pointed to by a relative or absolute URL within your frame.


Syntax:

http://DomainName/DbName/FramesetName?OpenFrameset&Frame=FrameName&src=targeturl

Example 1. Open something in the same database in a frame.

http://www.mysite.com/homepage.nsf/MyFrameset?OpenFrameset&Frame=Main&src=myPage?OpenPage

Example 2. Open something in a different database in a frame.

http://www.mysite.com/homepage.nsf/MyFrameset?OpenFrameset&Frame=Main&src=/Otherdb.nsf/myview?OpenView
