open page in pop up window 1

[optjco]

I have a page that is made up of three frames Top,Main and Bottom.

The following code is in a page that shows in the bottom frame and when the file name is clicked it goes away and opens a PDF however it is opening the page in the bottom frame.

could someone explain how I could get the PDF to either open in the Main Frame or alternatively open in a pop up window

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

Olly, this is some really basic HTML stuff. Seriously, not to be rude, but you really should go through a couple of tutorials. This forum and Tek-Tips in general is for questions that can't be Googled in 5 seconds.

To have it open in a specific frame, you add target="frameNameHere" to the link (in the <a> tag). To have it open in a new window you add target="_new" to the link.

genimuse,
I am sorry about that but I had tried that in the following line but it did not work however I will do as you suggest

 Response.Write "<td><a href=""\\ukgopsf002\common\Key Print Data\Print cards\" &  File.Name & """>" & File.Name & "</a>" & "</td>"

I don't understand. Did you add the target already and it didn't work? Here's that same line with a target in it:

Response.Write "<td><a href=""\\ukgopsf002\common\Key Print Data\Print cards\" &  File.Name & """ target=""_new"">" & File.Name & "</a>" & "</td>"

If you wanted the new window, that would work. If you wanted it in a specific frame you'd replace the _new with the name of the frame you want it to appear in.

Let me also suggest -- and do NOT give this post or any of mine a star (seriously, do not give this a star) -- that you look into how the star system works here. It's designed to reward people who answer your question, giving them a little recognition for a useful answer. It encourages people to answer more of your questions in the future.

genimuse,
Thank You I do really appreciate all help that is given to me on these forums and yes i do understand how the "star" system works. If you were to look at most of the threads i have started you will see that I have thanked and "starred" most of them. In answer to your question yes i had already tried to add the target in but because of my inexperience had not set the syntax correct.

Once again thanks for your help and guidance

Regards

Olly
