The Frames List will indicate that there are no document Frames found.
You will need to check the "manual" checkboxes and enter in the iFrame name. If the iFrame is in a Frameset page you will also need to enter the Frame name that the iFrame resides in in that document.
note: The iFrame Name and document Frame fields will be visible since there are no iFrames or Frames in the popup.
Instructions:
| Open | the popup or blank document that will be used to link to the main page.. |
| Launch | the iFrame Page interface from the Behaviors Panel. |
| Select | the image or active text link. |
| Check | the manual box next to the iFrame List to display the manual naming field. |
| Enter | the name of the iFrame that resides in the page you will be paging from the popup . |
| If the iFrame in the original page is in a Frameset, enter the name of the document Frame. | |
| Press | the Ok button. |
note: If you are paging from a normal full size window, this window "must" have been launched from the window that contains the iFrame. This is so there will be a direct connection between the two windows. This connection is of "window and opener". Without this connection the paging will not work.
This window can be launched from an open new browser script or by using the standard href method using a target _blank as in the following example.
<a href="lighting.htm" target="_blank">Lighting</a>
