how to set the Pop-up window links to open in the opener window

[tipul01]

Hello and a happy new year!

I have a website created in netobjects 11 and i have a popup window called when my visitor is clicking on a picture.
The pop-up has hotspots created as links, because it is a picture and the visitor has to click on certain areas of it, and i do not know how to create links other that this.

My question is how to set the links opening in the main window, as i tried all the options _parent,_self,etc and all of them at best opened up a new browser window to open the link.

I tried also scripting, but i am a noob at javascript, but the area href tag can't be modified.

Thank you,
Sebastian

Somewhere there, in that link window you should have the option to open
as a popup. You then just set the parameters of the pop up as you want.

Thank you for the response, but i don't have a problem with opening the links as popups, i set that option.

I want the links FROM the popup window to open in the main window that called the popup window in the first place.

Thank you,

That would be external to what the Fusion product can accomplish with its internal components. Take a look at this 3rd party script and see if it is what you want. http://www.jsmadeeasy.com/javascript...2/template.htm

This tutorial will go over how to insert external scripts into Fusion: http://www.gotfusion.com/tutorials/tut.cfm?itemID=4068

I think you have received good advice and I'd like to add something more.

Many people do not allow javascript to run on their computers. They will
disable of uninstall it to keep it from functioning.
Popups likewise are even more likely to be blocked on experienced users'
machines due to Security issues, pop-unders, and just plain unexpected
popups and malicious popups. It would be better to just link a new page
instead of using popups IMO.

Personally when I write web sites, I avoid javascript in any place other
than what NOF creates on its own, which is quite safe and provides some
useful features. They are such that, if a user doesn't allow js, the page
still works just fine for them; it's not necessary in order to use any of
the pages; you simply don't get flyout menues, things like that which can be
done without. So you should be careful to make sure your site will run for a
visitor that doesn't allow js and/or popups.

Just my opinion of course, and no wish to rain on your parade. You're
certainly entitled to do whatever you please and like; just thought I'd
mention the above as a lot of new starters aren't aware of same. Google
Analytics, free, can provide you with some great information about your site
and its statistics.

Why don't you just place that image on your page of choice, chop it up with your hotspots, link 'em, and Bob's your uncle

Thank you for your responses.

I tried using javascripts but from what i have read and experienced, i have to call the javascript functions inside the tag, as of area href="javascript:targentopener(x,y)", etc. But the hotspot link that i created cannot be modified, it has a dark grey background in the html edit window.

i use hotspots because i need that zone to be transparent, instead i would have used a rectangle, or sort, but i do not know how to make it have no fill colour. a simple <a href> tag would not do it, as i need the area of the picture act as a link, not just a single point, or text. Is there a way to modify the code that netobjects writes? i can only write before or after the html tag...

I use the popup because that is the requirement, if it were up to me, yes, i would have just opened the picutre in the main window, but its like a map that needs to click on diferent areas of the globe...

Thank you for your time,
Sebastian

You can do all you want just as I mentioned in the earlier post. See attached photo and study Fusion.
