Function to navigate to a web page and target to a frame

@tx12345Feb 25.2007

using this code in the body of the page:

[code] <a href=”#” onclick=”getpage();”>First</a>

[/code]

what would the code for

function getpage()

be in the header of the web page, if i wanted it to navigate to a web page and have that page flow into an iframe on the page named ‘data’?

many thanks

i have a page that has a body with a link to click on with two iframes underneath. the link refers to a htm doc in the same folder as the web page

[code=html]
 <html>
 <head>
 <script>
 function getpage()
 {
 
 }
 </script>
 
 </head>
 <body>
 
 <a href="#" onclick="getpage();">First</a>
 <br><br>
 <table>
 <tr><td>
 <iframe ID="f1" src="test.htm">
 
 <td>
 <iframe ID="f2" src="test2.htm">
 
 </table>
 </body>
 </html>
 
 [/code]

when 'First' is clicked i want the second frame to load with a new page.

did that answer your question?

@bathurst_guyFeb 25.2007 — #Why do you have to do this with JavaScript, why not the HTML target attribute?

@tx12345authorFeb 25.2007 — #ah, i wish i did not have to do it at all!

the purpose is to simulate an existing issue to find a way to get the source from one of the frames. i need a workng example. you ask a great question, and i'd love to hear the answer from the person who designed the web page i have been monkeying around with for the last 30 hours ?

so getting back to my earlier question, is there a way to target a frame with new content using a java function? or is there a way to have a few frames on the web page that are hidden, and then have the java function highlight one over the others? that is a little closer to the example i am working with i think.

for example:

[code=html]
 
 <html>
 <head> 
 <script> 
 function getpage() 
 { 
 //code to hide, let's say, iframe f2 and then show f3
 
 } 
 </script> 
 </head> 
 <body> 
 <a href="#" onclick="getpage();">First</a> <br><br> 
 <table> 
 <tr><td> 
 <iframe ID="f1" src="test.htm"> <td> 
 <iframe ID="f2" src="test2.htm"> 
 <iframe ID="f3" src="test3.htm"> 
 <iframe ID="f4" src="test4.htm"> 
 
 </table> 
 </body> 
 </html>
 [/code]

thanks for the reply
