Navigating with frames.

[Hawk]

My left frame has all the urls. When I click on it, I like the right frame to navigate to that site.

I did this before but forgot how to do it off the top of my head. It is something

javascript:window

Anyway, hope someone can help.

Thanks

in the frameset, give the right frame a name (name="maincontent")

in the navigation-file use the following in your HREF tag: target=maincontent (frame names are case sensitive)

if you want to you can post this in your HEAD area: <base target=maincontent> so you don't have to use target=maincontent in every link

hope that helps

Thanks for your solution.

Also, instead of using the anchor tag, how would I do it with a button?

Thanks

[Quentin]

parent.frames.yourframename.document.location='yourfile'

should do the job

[Hawk]

That goes into the Onclick event of the submit button right?

Thanks Quentin!

np

right, you can also put it in a function so you just have to say onclick="myFunction('file.html')"

just for code optimizing

I like the method you showed for the anchor tag but I guess that can't be done with a button.

Quentin, thanks for your dedication to this thread. You enlightend the solution for me. Have a nice day.
