How do I change the contents of a page in another frame?

Hello there,

Is there a way to change the contents of a page in another frame?

I have a ‘header’ frame and a ‘content’ frame. Links/Tab are available in both the ‘header’ and the ‘content’, I wish to highlight the Tab in the ‘header’ which was selected/clicked in the content.

Is this possible?

Many thanks,
Rafferty

@Mr_JAug 13.2004 — Give your TAB in the header an ID using either a DIV or a SPAN

<div id="mytab">TAB</div>

Then in the content page

<a href="#null" onclick="parent.headerframe.mytab.style.color='red'">Hightlight Tab</a>
