Remote Page
in Frame

The procedure which DC Rahe presented to the Workbench for accessing remote pages in a NOF frame (and thus allowing you to use a NavBar button to get to that page) runs into a snag in NOF 3.01 - NOF 3.01 may have problems using the “Reference HTML” command to reference an external HTML page.

Note: This will most likely work in NOF 2.0 as well - substitute “Layout Script” for “Layout HTML”

Here´s another way to get the same effect, using most of the same code:

  1. Create a new blank page in NOF.  Create all the appropriate Custom Names settings so that the NavBar button has the appropriate text for the page you are going to reference.
  2. In the Page View, Right-Click (Command-Click if you´re on a Mac) in the Layout Area and select “Layout HTML” from the drop-down window that appears.
  3. In the “Between Head Tags” field, enter or paste the following code:

    </HEAD>
    <frameset rows="100%,*" border="0" frameborder="0" 
    framespacing="0" framecolor="#000000">
    <frame src="http://
    www.yoursite.com">
    </frameset>

    where www.yoursite.com is the name of the site you are accessing.

Note that this will result in an extra </HEAD> tag being generated in your HTML code (after the </frameset> tag).  This extra tag will be ignored by your browser when you view the page.
