OK the Forum wont let me post HTML code as text. That makes it harder to show you the code.
I should have guessed.
I imagine if I PM you Ill have the same problem.
If you want the code used in my previous message, PM me an email address and Ill send you the code.
Cheers,
Dave.
The email that is sent is an HTML email that includes a link. Here is some of the code of the email sent to me:
The new message can be found at this location...
http://www.planningplanet.com/forum/forum_post.asp?Cat=3&Top=53391
The (for anchor) tag has various parameters. The href parameter tells it what URL to go to. Another optional parameter is called "target". This tells it where to display the result.
So lets simplify our email link for clarity.
Let say we just had:
Click here to go to Planning Planet.
We could add the target parameter to make it replace anything that is already in the current browser with our new location:
Click here to go to Planning Planet.
We could also use a named frame-set just for Planning Planet like this:
Click here to go to Planning Planet.
The example above will open planning planet in the same frame-set every time. If the user doesnt already have a frame-set called "PP" open then a new one will be created.
Hence if we were to change the forum link in the email from:
http://www.planningplanet.com/forum/forum_post.asp?Cat=3&Top=53391
to:
http://www.planningplanet.com/forum/forum_post.asp?Cat=3&Top=53391
Then when people click on the first email link in their In-box it will open a new browser window (frame-set actually). When they click on the next email link it will open it in the same browser window (frame-set actually).
I hope this clarifies things. Feel free to ask more questions if it does not.
Sounds like a good idea. However, our techie is stumped on this one (mind you it happens fairly often - just look at our site!).
Can you explain this in a little more detail please.
