I am making a website for gcse and it has a frame at the top and a main frame, the frame at the top has text links to change the colour of the background in the frame below, how do you tell this:

[QUOTE]

<a href=”javascript:void(0)” target=”mainFrame” ONCLICK=”document.bgColor= ‘Yellow’ “>Yellow</a>

[/QUOTE]

to change the background colour in All the frames?

@AdamGundryAug 22.2003 — As this is for a school project, I won't give you the full solution, but check out the Javascript documentation for [url=http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/2000/javascript/1.3/reference/window.html#1202300]window.frames[][/url].

P.S. Good luck with the GCSEs - I just got my results through.

@AdamGundryAug 22.2003 — Ok, then I guess you want something like this (untested):
&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
function setFramesColour(col){
for (i=0;i&lt;top.frames.length;i++){
top.frames[i].document.bgColor = col;
}
}
&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;a href="#" onclick="setFramesColour('yellow')"&gt;Yellow&lt;/a&gt;
