Nausheen, I have not done a "frames" implementation in Jetspeed, but this is how I would start:
Jetspeed generates 1 file to send to the browser. This file is based on WEB-INF/templates/vm/navigation/html/default.vm, or WEB-INF/templates/jsp/navigation/html/default.jsp it you are using the JSP to do the layout. In default.vm their are place holders for the navigation bars, $navigation.setTemplate(), and the portlet content, $screen_placeholder. Using javascript, you may be able to create a window containing a one place holder and then add that window to the frame. I am now sure how complete or workable a solution this is. Other options: o If the links you want displayed are from an RSS feed, then you an modify the XSL file, defined in the <portlet-entry>, to display the link in a new windows by adding target="_blank" to the <a href=...> tag. This is a very clean solution. o If you control the content, then you can write a portlet that displays a webpage using a parameter on that contains the URL. This is a very fragile solution because the URL must be encoded by the initial application to use the portlet and the configuration is tricky. Hope this helps.
