Iframe menu target

I'm doing a menu for a webpage in c2.

The menu is embedded in an iFrame.

When I click a link the mainpage should update not just the iFrame.

Usually you do this by adding _top to the hyperlink.

How do I do this in Construct 2?

Under the browser object the Open URL in new window action has a tag property that can use _parent and _top. Simply add this to an onClick event.

The link seems still to open in the iframe instead of refreshing the whole window... Must try more later.

Seems as my browser did not refresh properly... worked after deleting browser history.

I have another question though... How do I keep track og which page the user is at?

I would like:

If the user is at link1, button1 is blue

If the user is at link2, button2 is blue

etc.

Hmmm that's a bit trickier but I think it's doable.

Create a variable called "URLis".

Create a system event every tick - choose "Set value" for the action:

Set the value of URLis to the appropriate Browser object expression (i.e domain, path or hash - hash seems like a good bet here).

From here you can call events with the conditional of the URLis value, such as displaying buttons.

That's my best bet; all of this is from memory so I'm sorry if it's off - Let me know how you get on!

Thanks again — E Bear.

I just used a text object instead of a variable.

And used the browser - referrer expression.

When clicking on the menu item I made in Construct 2 I get a orange flashing of the object when loading the next page. I would like to find out how to avoid that.

---actually only chrome does the orange flashing... any idea why?
