Navigation Question

[Andre]

Hello,

For my website I use some PHP code for navigation. Therefore I use a
directory structure which contains some navigation files the visitor can
open. The directory structure looks like this:

my_domain
|
- /navigation
| - file_1.html
| - file_2.html
| - file_3.html
|
-/images
:
:

The name of the files the visitor can open (file_1....file_3) I detect from
reading the files in the directory "navigation". The function I use is this:

$handle=opendir("./navigation/");
$counter=0;

while ($file = readdir($handle)) {

$the_type = strrchr($file, ".");
$is_html = eregi("htm",$the_type);
if ($file != "." and $file != ".." and $is_html) {
$newsflash[$counter] = $file;
$counter++;

}
}
closedir($handle);
rsort($newsflash);
reset($newsflash);

With some other code I can echo the different files, this code works on the
same server. Now I want to read the navigation files from a different server
(my_domain2), then I get an error and the name of the files are not shown.
When I try it with Apache on my local computer an error is shown on the
first line
$handle=opendir("http://domain2/navigation/");

Is there an other way of getting the filenames from a different server? The
directory structure at my_domain is equal to my_domain2. Apparently the
function opendir is not correct, can someone help me?

Thanks in advance,

André

I have a site with frames and can successfully navigate between them. However what I would like to do is have one page on the site that opens without frames but at the same time does not open a new window. Is there anyway to do this successfully?

[morksinaanab webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

you want to open a whole page over the rest?

use 'top' as a target in your anchor or jscript function or getURL function in Flash

[Badlands webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

what I want to do is have the page open with in the same site only without the navigation frame at the top. what I want to avoid is opening a new window.

[morksinaanab webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

'top' should work.

how did you define your frameset? maybe you can show some source?

[Badlands webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

My frameset is a standard top and bottom frame as defined by Dreamweaver MX, my navbar is Flash MX.

maybe you can show the code which loads the page you want to get in your whole browser window...

[morksinaanab webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

if you are using getURL() :


Usage
getURL(url , window)

Parameters
url The URL from which to obtain the document.

window An optional parameter specifying the window or HTML frame that the document should load into. You can enter the name of a specific window or choose from the following reserved target names:

_self specifies the current frame in the current window.
_blank specifies a new window.
_parent specifies the parent of the current frame.
_top specifies the top-level frame in the current window.

[Badlands webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Here is my framset code. If I try a std html tag such as _self for the link it opens a new browser window which is what I am trying to avoid.


<frameset rows="64,*" cols="*" framespacing="0" frameborder="NO" border="0">
<frame src="navbar.htm" name="topFrame" scrolling="NO" noresize >
<frame src="bottom.htm" name="mainFrame">
</frameset>

try to use _top instead of _self

Here is my question, it is a simple answer I think. I just have a brain freeze.
So I am developing a site and I am on this page.

[url]http://austria.stamats.com/admissions/majors/youthmin/default.asp[/url]

You see on the left nav you can click on Student Profile which takes you to
here
[url]http://austria.stamats.com/admissions/majors/youthmin/student/default.asp[/url]

THen try to click in the student profile link from the student profile page,
it takes you to

[url]http://austria.stamats.com/admissions/majors/youthmin/student/student/default.as[/url]
p

Notice the second /students. The page is not there. I can't think of how to
fix this. I want have it page relative b/c I have these same left nav links on
pages for 30 diff majors in a css. Any ideas?

Make your links root relative instead of document relative. In other words,
change this -

<a href="student/default.asp">

to this -

<a href="/admissions/majors/youthmin/student/default.asp">
