SYMPTOMS

When you view a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) frameset document created by Microsoft Visio, and you click the Back button in your Web browser, you may see a blank frame page.

CAUSE

Visio has no settings or preferences to prevent the JavaScript tag that generates this page.

RESOLUTION

Edit the frameset document to eliminate the BlankPage reference; you can use any text editor that can save in text-only format. To do this, follow these steps.

NOTE: These steps assume that you saved the drawing as MyDocument.htm.
  1. Open the MyDoument_frame.htm file in a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad, Microsoft WordPad, or Microsoft Word.
  2. Locate the following line:
    new FileEntry('Page-1', '', 'MyDocument1_raster.htm'),
    					
  3. Select and copy the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or file name (MyDocument1_raster.htm) on that line.
  4. Locate the following line:
    ...frame name="frmPageView"  src="javascript:parent.BlankPage('white')" 
    frameborder="no"...
  5. Select the following text on that line; do not select the surrounding quotation marks:
    javascript:parent.BlankPage('white')
    						
    Then, replace this text by pasting the URL or file name that you copied in step 3 (MyDoument_raster.htm) between the quotation marks.
  6. Save the page in text format.
