Change image in frames

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 06.2003

Hi,
I have a webpage that has 2 frames. The target for links in window1 is window2. Right now i change an image in window1 when links from window1 are clicked (using the onclick event).

The problem i am having is that the image doesnt change when the “back” or “forward” browser buttons are pushed. Is it possible to change this image based on the browser “back” and “forward” button clicks?

@gil_davisFeb 06.2003 — You cannot sense the back or forward button. Clicking either one fires onunload for one of the frames, and you cannot tell the difference between back, forward, exit and manually typing a URL.

You would have to tie the logic for changing the image to the specific page that is in the other window and use the onload event of that window to make the change rather than the onclick of the link.
