Allow a href links with targets to cause navigation in other CefBrowser instances #311

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be nice if the target attribute of a href link could cause navigation 
to occur in another CefBrowser instance. For example:

<a href="some_url" target="some_instance" />

Clicking this link would cause "some_url" to be loaded in the CefBrowser 
instance named "some_instance." If nothing exists with this name it would 
follow the current logic and create a new popup window.

The target value in WebKit is called a "frame name." When a link is clicked 
WebKit internally calls FrameLoader.cpp createWindow() which searches the tree 
hierarchy for a frame that has the specified name. If a frame is found it 
navigates in that frame instead of creating a new window. We can set the frame 
name from the Chromium WebKit API using the WebFrame::setName() method. We can 
add a CefFrame::SetName() method for setting this value and the user can then 
call it in OnAfterCreated().
