link between 2 iframes on the same page

I have 2 iframes on the same page: one has a doc. with a list of names and another a doc. with info. corresponding to each name. Clicking on a link in frame 1 takes you to an anchor in the doc. in frame 2.

Doing this w/ html didn’t work in IE for Windows, but did work in IE, Firefox and Safari for Mac. Such a link looked like this:

[code=html]<a href=”secondDoc.html#someAnchor” target=”frameTwo”>Link</a>[/code]

So I tried a javascript approach. This does work in IE and Safari for Mac, but in Firefox it ALSO clears the first frame and shows the address of the html document that has correctly loaded into the second frame!

[code=html]<a href=”javascript:top.frameTwo.location=’secondDoc.html#someAnchor'”>Link</a>[/code]

I hope I’m on the right track with the javascript approach, but wonder what the problem is that causes frame1 to clear out when the link is clicked. Thanks for any help.

Also in #JavaScript _↴
