targeting specific frame externally

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 18.2004

Have never used frames before but find myself programming an application which particularly suits them.

Is it possible to target a particular frameset combination from an external site?

ie

  • –

    I have my frameset index.html, containing the following

    <FRAME SRC=”top_frame.htm” name=”top_frame” >
    <FRAME SRC=”index1.html” name=”bottom_frame”>

    • The top frame has a drop down box allowing users to navigate to index1.html, index2.html, index3.html etc etc

    My questions is, is it possible to provide a link in an external page which allows a link directly through to a page showing the “top_frame” up top and index3.html, for example, on the bottom?

    Because every time I try, all I get to see is index1.html on the bottom (Of course I can then navigate to index3.html… but I would like to allow users to bypass this)

    So, is it possible? And if so, what is the format I should use? ie what’s the URL?

    <!-- TOP FRAME -->

    <script language="javascript">

    function dothis(){

    parent.bottom_frame.location = document.dropdwn.selects.value;

    }

    </script>

    <form name="dropdwn">

    <select name="selects" onSelect="dothis()">

    <option value="index1.html">INDEX1

    <option value="index2.html">INDEX2

    <option value="index3.html">INDEX3

    </select>

    </form>
