redirect one iframe from inside another

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 11.2004

i have a page with two iframes “MAIN” and “MENU”.

when the page inside the “MAIN” frame is loaded i want to make the “MENU” frame go somewhere else.

in the body onload event of the page inside the “MAIN” frame i have the following:

[CODE]parent.document.getElementsByTagName(‘iframe’)[‘MENU’].location.href=’somewhereelse.html’;[/CODE]

i think i’m referencing the frame correctly, because i can resize it as follows:

[CODE]parent.document.getElementsByTagName(‘iframe’)[‘MENU’].width=20;[/CODE]

i just can’t get it to redirect.

what’s up?

@akoszauthorNov 11.2004 — wait, this seems to work:

[CODE]
parent.MENU.location.href='http://www.yahoo.com';
[/CODE]

i swear to god, javascript makes no damn sense. because this doesn't work for width! it's like the total opposite!

[CODE]
parent.MENU.width=20;
[/CODE]

Success!
