Mike,

Many many thanks.  Your approach worked like a charm.

Try creating a link that is structured like [path/start file name of start page.htm]#[path/name of specific file I want open on the right frame].

For example if my RoboInfo project is named MikesDocument and the specific file I want to open on the right side is foo.htm (located in the root directory of the project) then it would look something like:

http://www.name_of_my_site.com/doc_folder/MikesDocument.htm#foo.htm.

Hopefully this helps, or at least gets you on the proper track to a solution.There should be more information in the RoboInfo online help system if you search on CSH.

Subject: atw: deep linking into a roboinfo document



Hi,

If anyone knows about RoboInfo, could you please tell me if/how to
deep-link into a published document.   Eg how to create a link on  a
web page that takes me directly to a specific topic within a roboinfo
document.

Problem is roboinfo publishes online using frames.  If I link to the
frameset I get the intro page every time; if I link to the topic I
get just that topic (not the surrounding frames).

I'd have thought this ability was a fundamental requirement for any
online publication (without it bang goes context-sensitivity).  So
perplexed why I can't find anything online on how to do it.  Several
unanswered questions on the macromedia forums so maybe it's not
possible.  In which case my evaluation of this tool has reached a
negative conclusion and time to go look for something that works.
