I want to know how to do that!

I have my page 1 with no frame
=> Page1.html

AND I have my page 2 divided in 2 horizontal frame
Page2.html
-frameup => Frameup.html
-framedown => The pages I need

When I click on a link in my page 1, i want that link to be call my multiframe page 2, but i want this page in the framedown of page2.html

Is there a way to do that with javascript on anything else?
Or by passing variable values for esch?

You don't have to use JavaScript just for that. You can do something like this. For the second page you have to create a page which will hold only Frameset:

Your First Page:

Code:

<HTML> <BODY> <BR><BR> <A HREF=Frameset.htm>To the second page</A> </BODY> </HTML>

Frameset page:

Code:

<HTML> <FRAMESET ROWS="20%,*" FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER="false"> <FRAME SRC="TopPage.htm" SCROLLING="auto" name=TopPage> <FRAME SRC="Page2.htm" SCROLLING="no" name=Page2> </FRAMESET> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML>

By pressing a link on the first page will bring you to the Page2 on the bottom. If I missuderstood you, then. please, rephrase the question.

Well it's my fault, i didn't explain it well enough.

Let say i have this on the first page (Page1.htm).

Code:

<HTML> <BODY> <A HREF=Link1.htm>Link 1</A> <A HREF=Link2.htm>Link 2</A> <A HREF=Link3.htm>Link 3</A> <A HREF=Link4.htm>Link 4</A> <A HREF=Link5.htm>Link 5</A> </BODY> </HTML>

And a second page like this (Page2.htm).

Code:

<HTML> <FRAMESET ROWS="20%,*" FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER="false"> <FRAME SRC="TopPage.htm" SCROLLING="auto" name=TopPage> <FRAME SRC="MainPage.htm" SCROLLING="no" name=MainPage> </FRAMESET> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML>

So I need that if I click on either of the five link on Page1.htm
It goes to Page2.htm and load, the page of the link i clicked, in the
frame named MainFrame.

But i don't want to create a frameset for every link i have on the Page1.htm.

Thanks anyway!

Ohh I see. So what you gonna have is 3 frames total. One main on the left and the other one split into 2 horizontal frames. In this case you can do something like this:

First Page (should be a frameset too)

Code:

<HTML> <FRAMESET COLS="20%,*" FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER="false"> <FRAME SRC="MainPage.htm" SCROLLING="auto" name=Main> <FRAME SRC="Frameset.htm" SCROLLING="no" name=Frameset> </FRAMESET> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML>

Frameset page:

Code:

<HTML> <FRAMESET ROWS="20%,*" FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER="false"> <FRAME SRC="TopPage.htm" SCROLLING="auto" name=TopPage> <FRAME SRC="Page2.htm" SCROLLING="no" name=Page2> </FRAMESET> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML>

MainPage.htm

Code:

<HTML> </BODY> <BR><BR>  <A HREF=Link1.htm target=Page2>Link 1</A> <A HREF=Link2.htm target=Page2>Link 2</A> <A HREF=Link3.htm target=Page2>Link 3</A> <A HREF=Link4.htm target=Page2>Link 4</A> <A HREF=Link5.htm target=Page2>Link 5</A>

Well in fact I want 2 different page.
I don't want a page with 3 frame but 2 different page.
That's why I was asking in the first place how to do it with
a javascript or anything else.

It's coz I need 2 pages that i'm unabled to find a solution.

Hi dnbstef,
Here is the solution, all you have to do is add the target property, and assign the name of the frame you want to display the link.

Page1.htm

Code:

<HTML> <BODY> <A HREF=Link1.htm target=MainPage>Link 1</A> <A HREF=Link2.htm target=MainPage>Link 2</A> <A HREF=Link3.htm target=MainPage>Link 3</A> <A HREF=Link4.htm target=MainPage>Link 4</A> <A HREF=Link5.htm target=MainPage>Link 5</A> </BODY> </HTML>

Page2.htm

Code:

<HTML> <FRAMESET ROWS="20%,*" FRAMEBORDER="0" BORDER="false"> <FRAME SRC="TopPage.htm" SCROLLING="auto" name=TopPage> <FRAME SRC="MainPage.htm" SCROLLING="no" name=MainPage> </FRAMESET> <BODY> </BODY> </HTML>
