TN-M13 Why don't links in Java applets or JavaScript show up
The program optionally looks for links in Java applet tags - this is controlled by the Java parameters setting in the Links page of the Options window. When this setting is turned on any <param> tag names that contain the words "url", "link" or "href" are treated as URLs. For example,
<param name="dest-url"
content="http://www.electrum.co.uk/">
<param name="link1" content="http://www.electrum.co.uk/">
<param name="href" content="http://www.electrum.co.uk/">
If you turn this setting on and the param content attribute isn't a URL then a broken link icon will appear on your map.
The program also optionally looks for links in JavaScript applet tags - this is controlled by the JavaScript setting in the Links page of the Options window. When this setting is turned on any strings assigned to location objects are treated as URLs. For example:
function GoTo()
{
parent.bigframe.location.href = "bigframe1.htm";
}
<a href="url1.htm" onClick="parent.bigframe.location.href = 'url2.htm'">
In the first example "bigframe1.htm" is extracted, and in the second "url1.htm" and "url2.htm" are extracted.
