HTA and Frames 2

[pbellc]

Is there any way to use frames within an HTA file?

 

[CliveC]

Yes, They work just the same.

Not exactly. If one of the frames is another hta, it asks &quot;Open or download&quot;. I tried iframes, but I am having the same problem. Microsofts web site implies that if you use &quot;special attribute on the <FRAME> or <IFRAME> tag that is unique to HTAs. By specifying TRUSTED=YES, the HTA infers all of its privileges upon the content it navigates into the frame. &quot; But it doesn't say how to use this &quot;special attribute&quot;.

Thoughts?

I see. It works fine if the frames are .htm but I got the same result as you if a frame is .hta. Have you tried adding the hta files filespec as a trusted site in security settings?

The documentation that I found says to code:

application=&quot;yes&quot; within the frame tag but I did not get it to work.

If you use the master frame as a .hta, and change the dynamic frames to .htm (even though they are .hta's) and insert the application=&quot;yes&quot; in the tag for the .htm's they will function as .hta's within the frame evironment.
