链接在新窗口中打开，带有2个框架

Question

I will be displaying news feeds from external websites on my website. So i need to open external links in those feeds in a new window, but give the user an option to return to my website.

Basically I'm trying to replicate Google Images' technique of opening a link in a window with 2 frames - with the top frame having an option to "Remove Frame" and the bottom frame displaying the content of the link.

Also, since the news feed will be dynamic, I don't want to hard-code anything. The code should be used automatically by any link appearing in the news feeds.

Any ideas on how to do it?

I've decided to not implement this. Managed to convince my client that its a bad idea. Anyways, thanks for your solutions!

Answer 1

Assuming you are constructing the link by parsing an RSS feed, I would open a new window and display the news item within an iframe on your site.

If the RSS feed looks like this, for example

    <item> 
            <title>Apple delays iPad's global launch</title> 
            <link>http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2010/04/14/tech-ipad-launch-delay.html?ref=rss</link> 
            <guid isPermaLink="false">2000360126</guid> 
            <pubDate>Wed, 14 Apr 2010 11:20:49 EDT</pubDate> 
            <description>The launch of the iPad tablet outside the U.S. will be delayed one month until the end of May, Apple Inc. has announced.
            </description> 
        </item> 

parse out the link and create some HTML like this:

<a href="myiframe.php?story-url=http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2010/04/14/tech-ipad-launch-delay.html?ref=rss" >he launch of the iPad tablet outside ...</a>

Then you create a page called myiframe.php. It displays an outer frame of your website with a link somewhere to return, and in the center displays the URL from the RSS feed ( which was passed as a parameter ).

Answer 2

If you're going to be opening the feeds in a new window/tab, the user already has the option of returning to your site by closing the window/tab. I would advise that you not go out of the way to replicate functionality provided by the browser.
