one link changes 2 frames?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 27.2003

I’d like to find a way so that clicking on a single link makes two of my frames download different pages…

Say my page is made of Frame 1 displaying (page1) and Frame 2 displaying (page 2), when clicking a link in Frame 1 (page 1),then Frame 1 displays (page 3) and Frame 2 displays (page 4)…

Is there a way to do it??

@CharlesAug 27.2003 — [font=georgia]Create a new frameset just like the old one but with page 3 in frame 1 and page 4 in frame 2. Link to this frameset.[/font]

@CharlesAug 27.2003 — [font=georgia]There's a JavaScript method but using JavaScript for navigation is very bad. It will fail for 13% of your users. And what's so difficult about swapping out the frameset? Simply save the one you've got but with a different name and edit two file names.

One of the annoying features of frames is that other people cannot easily link to a particular state in your site. Using this method they can.[/font]

@Khalid_AliAug 27.2003 — parent.frameName1.location.href = url1

parent.frameName2.location.href = url2

the above should do what you intend to.

Have a look at the artticle "how I can make two frames change at the same time (with one click)?" at

http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/97/02/index4a.html?tw=authoring

I think that will explain what you want and how to do it.?
