The Multiple Links Action makes it possible to target more than one frame in a frameset from a single link.

Click here to see an example of this (opens in a new window)

The action can be applied either direct to a graphic item or to a map area on your page To apply the action, select the item that you wish to have the links applied to and select the "Multiple Links" action from the Actions submenu of the Item menu.

You then need to set the Multiple Link options in the Action Palette:

The action has 10 popups that allow you to set the links that you want to use. Click on the first popup menu and choose 'Other'. The Hyperlink dialogue wil now appear.

Choose the page you want to open from the list then click on the 'Target' dropdown. Select the target Frame in which the page will load into. i.e upper, main etc. Click OK when done.

Select the second popup menu in the Action Palette and set the second page to link to and the target frame.

Repeat if you have further links.

If you do not specify a frame target, the new page will load in the same frame, unless a base target for that frame page has been set in the Inspetcor Palette.

Note: This action uses Javascript to load the multiple pages. If your viewer has Javascript switched off in their browser then they will have problems navigating the site.

If you use this action your site will not work if JavaScript is turned off in your users browser. To such a user your site is simply broken.
