HV menu question

@liegiaDec 31.2003

I am using the script found ~~[URL=http://dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/hvmenu/index.htm]~~Here[/URL] to create a menu for our website. Now my question is… I want the buttons on in the menu to open up the links in a different iframe. How would I go about changing it so the links all load into the iframe?

@ray326Dec 31.2003 — #Given something like:

<iframe id="myframe" src=""></iframe>

You can load something into it like so:

document.getElementById("myframe").src="a_local_page.htm"

@fredmvDec 31.2003 — #If it's the first frame in the document:frames[0].location = 'foo.html';

@liegiaauthorDec 31.2003 — #where would i insert it into this code:

Menu2=new Array("Shows","blank.htm","",2);

Menu2_1=new Array("Current Shows","blank.htm","",0,20,150);

Menu2_2=new Array("Past Shows","blank.htm","",0);

whereas, MenuX=new Array(Text to show, Link, background image (optional), number of sub elements, height, width);

@ray326Dec 31.2003 — #My first cut would be:

Menu2=new Array("Shows","javascript:getElementById('fid').src='blank.htm'","",2);

If that proved out then I'd factor it out into a function so it would become:

Menu2=new Array("Shows","javascript:return showpage('blank.htm')","",2);

And I'd have showpage() return false.

OR I'd rewrite some bit of the menuing code to handle the menu link more directly.

In fact, if it were me I'd do the latter. 8-)

@liegiaauthorJan 02.2004 — #function Check(WMnu,NoOf){

var i,array,ArrayLoc;

ArrayLoc=parent.frames[0]?parent.frames[FirstLineFrame]:self;

for(i=0;i<NoOf;i++){

array=WMnu+eval(i+1);

if(!ArrayLoc[array]){WbMstrAlrt(0,array); return false}

if(i==0){ if(!ArrayLoc[array][4]){WbMstrAlrt(1,array); return false}

if(!ArrayLoc[array][5]){WbMstrAlrt(2,array); return false}}

if(ArrayLoc[array][3])if(!Check(array+'_',ArrayLoc[array][3])) return false}

return true}

function WbMstrAlrt(No,Xtra){

return confirm(WbMstrAlrts[No]+Xtra+' ')}

function Go(){

Dummy();

if(Loadd||!PosStrt)return;

BeforeStart();

Creatd=0; Loadd=1;

status='Building menu';

if(FirstLineFrame =="" || !parent.frames[FirstLineFrame]){

FirstLineFrame=SecLineFrame;

if(FirstLineFrame =="" || !parent.frames[FirstLineFrame]){

FirstLineFrame=SecLineFrame=DocTargetFrame;

if(FirstLineFrame =="" || !parent.frames[FirstLineFrame])FirstLineFrame=SecLineFrame=DocTargetFrame=''}}

if(SecLineFrame =="" || !parent.frames[SecLineFrame]){

SecLineFrame=DocTargetFrame;

The above replies havent gotten my desired results. I'm new to coding, so this may seem dumb. But would this be where i can edit the menu to link to my target frame. And if so, where would i go about doing this

@ray326Jan 03.2004 — #Line 261 in menu_com.js looks particularly interesting.

@liegiaauthorJan 04.2004 — #found the conflict in exmplmenu_var.js... it works great now.
