TargetRemote

The TargetRemote action opens a link in a window that is already open. The TargetRemote action is applied within a page that has been opened with the Open Window action from another page. For example, you can use Target Remote to set up a small hyperlinked menu outside the main browser window so that when a viewer clicks an item in the menu window, the target URL opens in the main browser window.

Set up an Open Window action in one page to open another page in a new window. (See Open Window.)

Important: If remote windows are resized in Netscape Navigator, they cannot target the original window. For this reason, the OpenWindow action should not have the Resize option selected.

In the page that is opened by the Open Window action, trigger the TargetRemote action with a user-triggered event. In the Actions palette, choose Action > Link > TargetRemote. For the URL Link, reference the page or external URL that you want to load in the original window when the link is clicked. If the original window contains a frame set and you want the linked page to open in one of the frames, enter the name of the frame in the Optional Target Frame Name text box. Add additional user-triggered events to the page as needed and repeat.
