CFTree and Frames problem

I have a CFTree in a three frame page with the target set to the larger frame. When trying the links in the tree, in NS4.7, it will either open the link in a new window or it breaks out of the frames in the same window.

If I name the target "_parent" or "_main", it opens in the same window, anything else, it opens a new window.

It works fine in IE5.

{I don't have access to the code right now as I am in a FastTrack to ColdFusion class and not at work!}

When you can post the code so we can work on it.

I wish I could have taken a CLASS on ColdFusion......  :(

can post it. Maybe later today...

Here is a sample that works:
1. Frame File
2. Top Frame
3. Tree Frame
4. Body Frame
5. New Frame for Body



1. Frame File
============= index.cfm ==============
<!-- frames -->
<frameset  rows="100,*">
    <frame name="top" src="top.cfm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" noresize>
    <frameset  cols="250,*">
        <frame name="tree" src="tree.cfm" marginwidth="5" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
        <frame name="BODY" src="body.cfm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
    </frameset>
</frameset>

=====================================
2. Top Frame
=====================================

<html>
<head>
      <title></title>
</head>

<body>

<font size="+3">TITLE OF PAGE</font>

</body>
</html>

=====================================

3. Tree Frame
=====================================

<HTML><HEAD>
    <TITLE>MyFamily</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY bgcolor="ffffff">
<FONT size="+2"><B>MyFamily</B></FONT>
<P>
<CFQUERY name="GetTreeData" dataSource="test">
    SELECT DISTINCT people.State, City,Name
    FROM people
</CFQUERY>
<CFFORM action="MyFamily.cfm" method="POST" target="BODY">
<CFTREE name = "Tree"
      height = "200"
      width = "230"
      highlightRef = "no"
      >
      <CFTREEITEM value="0" display="MyFamily" expand="yes">
      <CFSET CurGroup1 = "">
      <CFLOOP query="GetTreeData">
            <CFIF CurGroup1 is not State>
                  <CFTREEITEM value="#State#" parent="0" display="#State#" img="Folder" expand="no">
                  <CFSET CurGroup1 = State>
                  <CFSET CurGroup2 = ''>
            </CFIF>
            <CFIF CurGroup2 is not City>
                  <CFTREEITEM value="#City#" parent="#State#" display="#City#" img="Folder" expand="no">
                  <CFSET CurGroup2 = City>
                  <CFSET CurGroup3 = ''>
            </CFIF>
            <CFTREEITEM value="#Name#" parent="#City#" display="#Name#" img="Document" expand="no">
      </CFLOOP>
</CFTREE>
<P>
<INPUT type="Submit" value="Display">
</CFFORM>

</BODY></HTML>

=====================================

4. Body Frame
=====================================

<html>
<head>
      <title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
Here is where the information is going to go.
</body>
</html>

=====================================

5. New Frame for Body
=====================================
<html>
<head>
      <title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
<cfoutput>
<b>#TREE.NODE#</b><br>
</cfoutput>
</body>
</html>

Where does the new frame come in???

nathansCommented:
load each of these files and test it out. If you can't I will do it on my server.

when they select the final item and click on submit.  then it goes over to the new frame.

However I think I could make it where when you select it it does the submit.

I was unable to get the frame code sent
to me but here is the tree code:
The file CFFAQ_Template is the file that
has the frames in in similar to your frames page. The body frame is called _MAIN.

What is the NAME of the Frame you are wanting to replace OR are you wanting to replace the Whole Page?
0
 
Eddie ShipmanAll-around developerAuthor Commented:
I want the links in the tree to display n the _MAIN frame. But, like I said, in
NS it either breaks out of the frame and displays in the entire window or opens a new window depending upon the target.

I tried the source you presented with my CFTree.cfm as the src for the second frame and the document is coming up EMPTY! No frames, nothing!!!

nathansCommented:
If the name of the FRAME is MAIN then you need to try target="MAIN"

I'm not sure if MAIN is a reserved word or not but if that does not work try...

Changing the Name of the Frame to
MAIN1

then

target="MAIN1"


NO '_' in front of it.

Oh yes by the way it is CASE SENSITIVE as well.

I have tested this again and it works...

Eddie ShipmanAll-around developerAuthor Commented:
I built another frame unit with the frames wizard and it worked in NS and IE.

The code looks EXACTLY the same as my other code, word for word, exact punctuation too.

Don't know why it wouldn't work but it does now no matter what I call the main frame.

Thanks...
