Frame Problem

[Jupac]

HI my page is in a frame and i want the top frame to say where are you at so i did this

This is in the top frame
<script>
var page="main.page.value";
document.write("<font color=red>"+page+"</font>")
</script>


This is in the main frame
<script>
var page="Home";
</script>
but all it said is main.page.value

This:

<script>
var page="main.page.value";
document.write("<font color=red>"+page+"</font>")
</script>

Should be this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var page=main.page.value;
document.write("<font color=red>"+page+"</font>");
</script>

I hope that helps. :)

Hi adam it dosnt work it only works with out frames

Ok... This is a stab in the dark, but try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var page=parent.main.page;
document.write("<font color=red>"+page+"</font>");
</script>

That is assuming that main is your frame name and page is the variable... Otherwise you could use this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var page=parent.page.document.location;
document.write("<font color=red>"+page+"</font>");
</script>

Which will get the actual location...

Well, for that you have to put that code into a function and run the function whenever the page refreshes... Know what I mean?
