Hi,
How could I change the target frame in a Link object?
I currently set the link dynamically using the SetLink method but I haven't figured out how to set the target frame as well.
Thanks,
Danny

You should be able to add the target by editing the HTML.

If you want to do that programatically, use a template variable and
set the value using the SetTag action in the BeforeShow event for
the page (or form) where the link is located.

Thanks Peter and klwillis – your replies are pointing me in the right direction.
I have a grid that consists of multiple items per row and multiple rows – each item is a link. What I need is that each link will open into its OWN window when clicked - without replacing other open windows. Any ideas on how to accomplish this. When I follow Peters advice and add a target="newpage" in the html code the result is that all the links open into the SAME new window.
As for klwillis reply. You actually introduced me to the term "template variable". Searching the CodeCharge docs I couldn't find a proper in-depth explanation of what template variables are and how to use them. Following that I started looking at other undocumented issues (at least to me) like the common.php and template.php files just to find a wealth of potentially useful functions with no documentation.
Is there any documentation out there besides the help file that I'm not aware of? Specifically something that explains more about the common.php and template.php files?
Thanks,
Danny

That's easy 
Quick look on Google and the proper syntax is: target="_blank"

Thanks Peter !!!
That’s just what I needed. And the speed of your replies makes puts the CodeCharge support in a league of its own.
What about my other question regarding additional documentation. It seems like there is so much potential power under the CodeCharge hood that is being wasted for lack of documentation.

You can press F1 to open the Help file and then search for "template NEAR variable". But in a sense such thing doesn't physically exist, except when you create it. Thus if you just enter {SomeText} in curly brackets then you're creating your own template variable.

Hi Peter,
I made a search for "template NEAR variable" and came up with a dozen or so results, none of which seem to explain what a template is in the first place. Could you please refer me to documentation on:
1. What's a template?
2. What's a template variable
Thanks,
Danny

I think that template doesn't require explanation - it's just an HTML file. So we could call those "HTML file" and "variable inside HTML file"
Template variable is a word that you type inside HTML and put into curly brackets. See an example at http://docs.codecharge.com/studio/html/ProgrammingTechn...lateBlocks.html
We call it a "variable" because it can be changed, just like a value of a variable can be changed.

Oh, but if you wanted to know what is template why haven't you searched for "template"?
The first search result in Help shows the "Terms and Definitions" section which contains some more detailed info about the Template.

A slight variation...
I use the following setup so that when the custometr uploads the image and
the link they can also choose the target destination (either _self or
_blank) in the admin pages that I built.
The links database has a field for target.
The codecharge page has a hidden field called hidden_target and I then
manually add this value to the Target variable of the href as in the example
following:
<a href="{link_image}" target="{hidden_target}" alt="{hidden_alt}"><img
alt="{hidden_alt}"
src="thumbnail.php?gd=2&src=link/{link_image_Src}&maxw=100" border="0"></a>
FYI I also added a hidden field called hidden_alt which displays text when
mouse is over the image
link_image: image name pulled from db
hidden_target: target pulled from db
hidden_alt" alt text pulled from db
thumbnail.php is used to ensure page formatting is not screwed by image size
