Displaying a page in 2nd frame

**JohnSmith** · Jan 16th, 2003, 10:24 PM

I have created three frames. The three frames are named Menu, Body and Header.

In my menu frame I have a menu. When I click on an item I want to display a specfied URL into the Body Frame... How can I do this using javascript?

i think it goes something like this...

parent.body.location=URL

again, im not too sure.

also, its not wise to name anything with keywords

Code:

<a href="#" onClick="javascript:parent.body.location = 'http://www.vbforums.com';">Click here</a>

The other way is to:

Code:

<a href="http://www.vbforums.com/" target="body">

Yeah like mendhak said you should use target if you can use plain html (taget) as not everyone has JS enabled (10-15% apparently)

He's mad because I 'copied' him.
