Make Frame "Press" Link in Other Frame?

[VirtuallyVB]

Is there any code in any language (I assume html, javascript, java) that could be in a frame (say the 2nd frame of a 2 frame html document) that can cause a known link in a different frame (say the 1st frame of a 2 frame html document) to be "pressed"?

Or is there a way from within a frame to cause a new html document to be loaded into the memory space that the html document is in that contains the FRAMESET tag?

Sorry if I'm using non-standard language to describe my problem.

***EDIT***
Or possibly cause my own link to be pressed immediately
<a href="A.html" target="_parent">

I don't think the meta refresh tag allows the target="_parent"

I don't think it is possible.

why don't you just open another window when the user comes in and have that window load the page you want.

Hmmm.

Is there a way to also close the previous window? That way, in effect, I'd have the main window open without having the other window "in the way".

yes you can close the previous window, but you will get a confirmation to close it as you can't close any window you didn't open with javascript. there is no way around it. also it would piss me off if I went to a site and the site closed my main window.


just my opiion anyway. just use window.close();

Thanks for the info.
