Help with frames please

Hi,

I have a page with a "nested hierarchy frame"(frontpage) ie.

C M

A

(This did not come out as I wished, but I hope you know what I'm trying to say - "C" = left frame, "M" = middle frame, "A" = footer frame)

"C" is my normal content page (Who are we, contact us etc)
"M" is a page which I want to change the whole time
"A" is the asp page which controls what must show in "M"
I saved the whole frames-page as index.asp
No here is the story.....

I have a listbox in "A" with the options (Car,train,plane) and a submit button.

When the user clicks on eg "car" and then submit I want to change "M" to a page with the cars details on or when he clicks "Plane", "M" must change to a page with the planes details on!!

Please can anyone tell me how to change "M" according to script I write in "A".

I use VBScript and dont know any other language like jscript etc.

ANY help - please!!!

is the information to be displayed in "M" static data or an asp page?

use javascript in the browser it's far better than VB script
and it's easy to learn

http://www.irt.org will help a lot!

anyway try this sort of thing:

Code:

<html>

<head>
<script language=javascript>

function doit(v){

parent.M.location="yourpage.asp?choice=" + v;
//M is the name of your taget frame
}

</script>
</head>

<body>

<form name=frm3>
	<select onclick="doit(this.value)">
	<option value="cars">cars</option>
	<option value="planes">planes</option>
	<option value="boats">boats</option>
	</select>
</form>
</body>

</html>
