Sometimes I have saved bookmarks at a particular page on a site with frames. The link works fine, and goes right to that page.
When I right-click and look at the Properties of the link, it just says http://www.whatever.com
When I type that in, of course, I go to the site’s home page.
So where is the rest of the link saved? Is there any way to view it?
Also some of my links open a new window and some don’t. Is that part of the link characteristics?
Or maybe it’s whether it’s in Favorites vs. being on my desktop.
In Netscape 4+, in order to view the URL of each individual frame, you would go to View, then to Page Info. When you click Page Info, another window will open up and display each URL, as well as URLs to any pictures, and/or other various file types that are used in the page.
Now, since you use the word “Favorites” I’m assuming you would like to know how to do this using IE. Well, I’m not quite sure…
I know just what you mean, and it’s a weird one. On your Address bar it just has the root domain listed, yet somehow it remembers the actual page you had selected in the Frame when you placed it in your Favourites.
Well, obviously there is more information saved than just the root domain, but I don’t know where you’d find this data. Buried in a config file somewhere I expect.
There was a problem like this last week on a question about the depth of the ocean. Two links were posted, but they both went to the same place.
The reason is there is a lot more to a link than you can get in the Address window. Or with Properties. I think because both of those are simply outdated, and no new method is available.
