How to target a javascript function in another frame?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi everybody,

I’m using a frameset like this:

[CODE]frameset rows=”80,*” cols=”*”>
<frame src=”title.htm” name=”topFrame”>
<frameset rows=”*” cols=”250,*” >
<frame src=”nav.htm” name=”leftFrame”>
<frame src=”home.htm” name=”mainFrame”>
</frameset>
</frameset>[/CODE]

Now I’d like do call a function named “tnm_select(p,q)” which is included in the “nav.htm” in “leftFrame” from a link in “home.htm”.

I tried this:

[CODE]function set_nav() {
parent.frames[1].document.tnm_select(p,q);
}[/CODE]

but it didn’t work.
Can anybody give me a hint?
Thanks in advance

either of these will work

[code=html]
parent.frames[1].document.getElementById('slogan_label').innerHTML=document.editform.content_title.value;
parent.frames[1].document.getElementById('input_test').innerHTML=document.editform.content_title.value;

parent.bottom.document.getElementById('slogan_label').innerHTML=document.editform.content_title.value;
parent.bottom.document.getElementById('input_test').innerHTML=document.editform.content_title.value;

These were the fields in the bottom frame
<span id="slogan_label">NAME</span><br>
<input type="text" id="input_test" name="input_test" size="50" maxlength="5" />
[/code]

@timbuktuauthorSep 21.2005 — Hi cyber1,

sorry, seems I didn't specify properly.

I do not want to target a form tag.

I want to call a [B]javascript function[/B]:

[CODE]function test() {
MM_nbGroup('down','navbar1','nav_ehrenkodex_r3_c1','images_ehrenkodex/nav_ehrenkodex_r3_c1_f3.gif',1);
}[/CODE]

which is located in the HTML document "nav.htm" in the "leftFrame" of my frameset.

How can I call this function from another HTML document ("home.htm") located in the "mainFrame" of the frameset?

<i>
</i>function set_nav() {
parent.frames[1].tnm_select("somthing","anothersomething");
}
