InterPage Linking Problem in .mht file

N

naveenmoorthy

Hello All,

Thanks in advance for all your help.

I have created a .mht file in following format.

1. The .mht file contains following htmls.
a. MHTLinkingProblem.html
b. Left.html
c. Right.html
d. Start.html
e. Plus.gif

2. The MHTLinkingProblem.html is the main html which is divided in 2
frames.
3. The Start.html dummy html to display the start of the page
4. The Right.html contains :-
a. An image with a source attribute pointing to the content-id of the
image embedded in the .mht file.
Code: - <img src="cid:plus.gif" alt="plus.gif">

b. And a anchor tag with a name attribute.
Code: - <a name="LinkName">

5. The Left.html contains two links to the Right.html. :-
a. <a href="cid:Right.html" target="Data">LinkWithoutFragmentRefURL</
a>
b. <a href="cid:Right.html#LinkName"
target="Data">LinkWithFragmentRefURL</a>


THE PROBLEM:-

The link shown in 5.b is not working. That is I am not able to refer
a particular fragment of the html file using .mht. This is because
the .mht resolve this URL in following format:-

cid:Right.html#LinkName

Now there is no content-id naming cid:Right.html#LinkName so it
returns a error Page Cannot be displayed.


QUESTION:-

1. How to use the Relative Reference URL in the href attribute of the
anchor tag so that it refers to a fragment(anchor tag with name
attribute) of ANOTHER html in the same .mht file?

Regards,
Thanks in advance.
Appreciate any help in this matter

..mht | .mhtml is a creature of *Microsoft*. This is not an HTML problem,
best to try in one of the Microsoft specific developer's groups...

Multiple pages and with frames to boot? Sincerely, I doubt that what
you want will ever work.

hi Jonathan

Thanks for your reply.

It’s a problem related to “relative linking” of the html files. So I
have posted in the html related forms. I have also posted the question
in "http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/" . Can you mail some
other sites which are Microsoft specific developer's groups.

Thanks for your help once again.
Happy New Year

hi Neredbojias

Thanks for your Suggestion.

Please copy paste the code in the above mail to some .mht file.
The .mht loads perfectly but the only the link
"LinkWithFragmentRefURL" in the left side of the frame is not working.

Reason:-
This particular link has the anchor reference to the other .html file.

Loading of the html file without the anchor reference is loading
perfectly fine.
Can you help in this particular regards. I appreciate your help for
solving the problem

Your original question was:

1. How to use the Relative Reference URL in the href attribute of the
anchor tag so that it refers to a fragment(anchor tag with name
attribute) of ANOTHER html in the same .mht file?

I'm not familiar with multi-page .mht files; didn't even know it could be
done, but I'm pretty sure you cannot address any such embedded page by
filename from anywhere. Perhaps MS has some wierd proprietary means, but
that, of course, would be beyond the scope of html.

You say "Loading of the html file without the anchor reference is loading
perfectly fine." But just _how_ is it loaded - stand alone or what?

Copy the code and save it as <Test>.mht file.

I don't know what is "cid" - that does not work with me so I kicked it
out.
[content-id... hm... you can replace it in my code if you want]
I made another .mht file with your frameset by saving the started page
in IE with "save as..." ... Test.mht.
The link works fine!
Only with Google Chrome you have to click it twice.

mhtml is an open standard

Check rfc 2557 and an overview of multipart mime by jacob palme. Since this thread is duplicated in many forums, I've posted some more info on stackoverflow.com before posting here.
