Sorry, but the video links no longer work (have not for quite a while, see my latest post in the topic for a "quick" how-to)

Note to Admins/Mods:
You may delete topic if you wish.

ACK, what an annoying tease to not find the actual how-to. If anyone actually accomplished what the missing video instructs, perhaps they could post it - as a text how-to - so the rest of us can get the job done.

thanks,

Hey. I honestly had forgotten about the videos (and this posting), but I no longer have them (the backups I had of the site got wiped, and I have not updated it in a long time). I also no longer have path finder, I was running under the trial anyway.

But a simple short way to do it is:
Create a html document.
Code it to refresh to another site.
Preview it in the preview drawer/pane.
It should refresh to that page and you can browse and stuff.

Although, I don't know how valid it is now (behavior could have changed, but, I doubt it), but it is still worth a try.

Just tried and it still works. I created a html file with the following source:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 TRANSITIONAL//EN">
<html>
<body>
<FRAMESET>
<FRAME src="http://www.yoursite.com">
</FRAMESET>
</body>
</html>

Click on the file in PF and you can browse via either the floating Preview window or via one of the PF drawers if you have it set to Preview.

good to know it still works, but I was leaning more toward a Meta Tag refresh as the way of doing it. but what ever works, although a framed one could be good for entering another url (set up with form fields and all) so it could "sorta" act like a mini web-browser
