7 The links parameter

This is a database table parameter. Please refer to 2.2 for a detailed explanation of database tables layout. In all the following examples we assume that the recordseparator is ^ and the fieldseparator is | .

The entries parameter contains 1 field referring to links. Column 5 of the entries parameter contains a pointer to a record in the links parameter (from now on this record will be called a link profile).

Column 10 of the entries parameter can contain multiple pointers to link profiles. Each pointer is separated by a space.

When the tree entry is clicked all the link profiles will be activated. So it is possible to change the contents of multiple frames!

Column Name Type Default Range
0 Key string    
1 Destination URL URL   Fully qualified URL’s as well as relative URL’s are supported (see 3.12)
2 Destination frame String frame in the options parameter  

 

Column 0 is the (primary) key. This key will be used when referring to this record.

Column 1 is the URL of the web document that should be displayed.

Column 2 is the destination frame. (see 3.8)
