The Go To URL action opens a new page in the current window or in the specified frame. This action is particularly useful for changing the contents of two or more frames with one click.
To use the Go To URL action:
1 | Follow steps 1 through 3 of the procedure in Attaching a behavior. |
2 | Select Go To URL from the Actions pop-up menu. |
3 | Choose a destination for the URL from the Open In select list. |
The select list automatically lists the names of all frames in the current frameset as well as the main window. If there are no frames, the main window is the only option. | |
![]() |
Note: This action may produce unexpected results if any frame is named top, blank, self, or parent. Browsers sometimes mistake these names for the reserved targets top
, blank
, self
, and parent
.
4 | Enter the path and file name of the document you want to open in the URL field, or click Browse to select a file. |
5 | Repeat steps 3 and 4 to open additional documents in other frames. |
6 | Click OK. |
7 | Check that the default event is the one you want. |
If it isn't, select another event from the pop-up menu. If the events you want are not listed, change the target browser in the Events For pop-up menu. | |
