Problem: The submenu appears in the right frame, but the url for the main menu item does not target to the right frame. the link stays in the current frame of the main menu. It should go to the same frame as the submenu.2.b.iii An Item that Opens a Submenu and Links to a New Page. An item that opens a submenu when moused over, or links to a new page when clicked should be coded as follows:
aI("text=itemText;showmenu=submenuName;url=theUrlToOpen.htm;target=contentFrame;onfunction=openSubmenu();offfunction=closeSubmenu();");
where itemText is the text that you want to appear in the menu item, submenuName is the name of the submenu you want to open, theUrlToOpen is the href to the url that you want to open, and contentFrame is the name of the frame where you want the submenu to appear when the item is moused over, or the new page to appear when the item is clicked. The onfunction and offfunction properties must be set exactly as shown in the code above.
here are my frames:
<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0" rows="94,*">
<frame name="header" scrolling="no" noresize target="mainframe"
src="/top.html">
<frame name="mainframe" src="/main.html">
</frameset>
here is the menu code:
_menuCloseDelay=500 // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=50 // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_followSpeed=5 // Follow scrolling speed
_followRate=50 // Follow scrolling Rate
_subOffsetTop=5 // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=10 // Sub menu left offset
_scrollAmount=3 // Only needed for Netscape 4.x
_scrollDelay=20 // Only needed for Netcsape 4.x
