InterPage Linking Problem in .mht file

Hello All,

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?

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

I am not trying to feign ignorance, but what is a ".mht" file? Is this something specific to a program? If so, is this a problem with that program or with HTML itself?

I ask as this is an HTML forum, not a forum for a specific program and I would have to move this thread to the miscellaneous forum.

Regards,

Jeff

@Jeff - .mht is a Microsoft thing.

Yes, it's an archiving file. Firefox has an extension, and 'nix has programs, that can read/write these so I find it useful to save pages that contain graphics and running javascript.

Hello all,

Thanks everyone for the reply.

I am checking the replies today.

.mht helps bundle multiple files such as hmtl/CSS/Images/JavaScript to one single file, exactly as the "Kevin" above has posted.

The problem is at its core is an html relative linking within pages.

1.For example, I have a page Left.html has a relative hyper linking within the some other page Right.html#LinkName.All these linking are working as an individual html files but when I combine all the html files to single .mht file the links with

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<a href="cid:Right.html#LinkName" target="Data">LinkWithFragmentRefURL</a>

Show the error on the page. But the link

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<a href="cid:Right.html" target="Data">LinkWithoutFragmentRefURL</a>

Works fine.

2.From the .mht point of view, if I Try navigating to the 2nd link from another page (Right.html), I get an error. But navigating to the 2nd link from the same page (Left.html) is no problem i.e. checking on the link form the same page.
