Preserved Topic: Help needed.....how can i get a 1 button to load 2 .htm pages in 2 different frames ?

I'm working on a site and i'm having some problem......

I have the following frames :

topframe,
navframe,
navoneframe,
mainframe

what i'm trying to do is having a link ( button in the "navframe" loading a .htm page in the "navoneframe" and one in the "mainframe"............

is it possible?

I've tried a few combination but i keep getting nowhere as only 1 page will load in one frame

Can some one please give ma a hand?

Thank you

You can't change two frames at once with HTML only, you'll need a bit of JavaScript for that.

If you're in one frame and want to change the document that's displayed in another frame of the same frameset, you can do so by saying:

parent.framename.location.href = 'whatever.html';

Now you'll have to put this line into a link and replace 'framename' by 'navoneframe':

<a href="javascriptarent.navoneframe.location.href='page1.html';">Link</a>

And since you want two frames to be changed you simply add that line from above another time. That's the finished link:

<a href="javascriptarent.navoneframe.location.href='page1.html'; parent.mainframe.location.href='page2.html';">Link</a>

edit: seems that it took me a long time to explain this...

hmmm MAX version was working a bit better...........

1 click 3 frame changes.............lol

That's strange. Try this:

<a href="#" onclick="parent.navoneframe.location.href='page1.html'; parent.mainframe.location.href='page2.html';">Link</a>
