I am the publisher of the website www.lanedeparturewarning.org. I am a currently enrolled in
Bing webmaster and my site has been verified. The desktop version of my website uses a frameset architecture with the the left side of my frameset being a navigation page and the right side being the content page. When a development version of
my site loads, it appears as in the figure ‘Screen dump of site upon loading.JPG’
![]()
.
One of the links from the navigation page in my website opens up a framed PDF document content page (which was created using Microsoft Word but was saved as a PDF document). This PDF content document has the text http://www.lanedeparturewarning.org at the
top of the page. When that page of the site loads, it appears as in the figure ‘Screen dump of site after loading road scene images PDF page.JPG’
![]()
.
When I hover over this address text in Internet Explorer 11 and then click on it (after it is ‘recognized’ by Internet Explorer), it opens up my framed website index.html homepage (both another separate navigation page and another separate framed page) in
neither a new tab nor a new window but (incorrectly) in a framed navigation page/framed navigation page/ framed content page format (versus just a single navigation page and a single framed page)? When that page of the site loads, it appears as in the figure
‘Screen dump of site after clicking on www_dot_lanedeparturewarningdotorg link in road scene images PDF page.JPG’ <![]()
.This
functionality is not possible (from what I have seen) in Firefox or Chrome or Opera as these browsers require a right click on the selected/recognized web address (from the framed content PDF web address) and offer to display the link address in new tab or
new page or some other ‘controlled’ format.
My index.html page uses the following two lines of code which you might find helpful in addressing this issue:
<frame name="sidebar" scrolling="auto" src="navigation.html" target="main" noresize="noresize"/>
<frame name="main" scrolling="auto" src="Welcome.html" target="_self"/>
My welcome.html page uses the following line of code which you might find helpful in addressing this issue:
<base target="_self" />
My site development environment is Expression Studio 4 Web Professional. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
I am running into this issue with Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.18920.
Unless I have to, I don’t want to disable access to my site from a PDF document, only ‘control loading of my site’ in a way which will keep the single navigation page/single content page frameset architecture intact. IDEALLY, I THINK (?) I AM
LOOKING FOR THIS SORT OF FUNCTIONALITY: ONCLICK=”WINDOW.OPEN(‘INDEX.HTML’,’_TOP’)” where the link to my site homepage index.html opens only a single navigation page and a single content page. That code snippet is from some ‘HOME’ buttons that I have recently
added to a version of my website which is still under development. They also temporarily clear up any display problem my website has with multiple navigation pages appearing in my site. As some additional insight, when the site is loading ‘as it should’, the
tab for the left navigation frame shows ‘Lane Departure Warning’ and underneath that it shows the link ‘http://lanedeparturewarning.org/development’. When the site is not loading correctly (when loaded from the PDF with the multiple navigation frames occurring)
the tab shows ‘Waiting for lanedeparturewarning.org’ and this ‘Waiting’ message displays after the page has incorrectly loaded. I have checked my Internet Explorer settings which appear to be correct and I don’t believe this is an add-on problem.
How do I prevent multiple navigation pages for my framed website from being incorrectly displayed in Internet Explorer 11 when I access (link to) the site from a PDF file with the address of my site in that file? Is there a solution in Adobe? Is there
a solution in ASP.NET/web.config? Is there a solution in the initial loading of the site which automatically forces a single navigation frame and single content frame solution? If this outreach should have been directed to (any existing/remaining) Expression
Web community support, my apologies.Thanks in advance.
