Hi, I need help please.
I have a page with a stylesheet that is read from an aspx form.

On the form I have an hyperlink object - which iIwant the Targeturl to open within the current frame where the hyperlink object is in.

I read that i need to set it in my target="frame name"

but i don't know what the current frame name is.

or any other idea on how i can open the hyperlink's Targeturl within the current frame.


Please Help...

Regards

The default IS to open in the current frame, so I don't see what the problem is. You don't mention what it currently IS doing, only what you want it to do.

See the following for a list of standard values: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/linking/_A_TARGET.html

It's always simpler to answer questions if you can show a sample of the XML input and the corresponding (HTML) output that you want to produce.

Thanks for the assist...
The aspx page has an stylesheet with the hyperlink object:
the properties are Targeturl which works & the target, i tried _parent etc.

I have an navigation bar on selection the aspx page open below it, but when i click my hyperlink it opens on the entire current page with no navigation bar like it's a new page within the current window.

I want it to display where my objects was below the navigation bar.
Is there way I can create an frameset wthin the current context onclick of hyperlink.

Please help.

This isn't even an XSLT question is it?

<xsl:template name="Hyperlink">
  <xsl:param name="Name" />
  <xsl:param name="Attributes" />
  <xsl:element name="asp:Hyperlink">
    <xsl:attribute name='id'><xsl:value-of select='$Name' /></xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name='runat'>server</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name='navigateurl'>http://test</xsl:attribu
    <xsl:attribute name='target'></xsl:attribute>
 </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Is there a way of building frame so that I can set the object target

OK, its quite obvious now that when you say 'current frame' you actually mean 'not the current frame, but the one below this frame'.

The 'current frame' is the one which contains the navigation bar. This so called 'other frame' will be the one containing the stuff below the navigation bar.

Now, assuming these are actually two separate frames there will be some HTML somewhere that looks like this:

<frameset>
   <frame ....>
   <frame id="mainFrame" ...>
</frameset>

What you need to put in the "target" property of your attribute is whatever is in the "id" attribute of your frame. If the frame doesn't have an ID then you'll have to give it one, else there is no way to target it.

<FRAMESET ROWS="50%">
    <FRAME id="mainFrame"></FRAME>
</FRAMESET>

I inserted this on top before my table started &

<xsl:attribute name='target'>mainFrame</xsl:attribute>
now i'm trying to add a src: but xslt does not like the "&" in the link
<FRAME src="http://srv08-zz119/myReportItem.aspx?g=6&id=106" id="mainFrame"></FRAME>

i don't know if this will work - have to get it going
what is the code for "&"?

&amp;

unfortunatley it does not work - it still opens a new browser

i inserted this right on top before my body
<FRAME src="http://srv08-zz119/myReportItem.aspx?g=6&amp;id=106" id="mainFrame">

<xsl:attribute name='target'>mainFrame</xsl:attribute>

Please help - i don't know what to do....
