targetting two iframes

[alex57]

Hello,

How would I target two iframes with two different pages. EG. I have 'iframe1' and 'iframe2'. I know this code is ridiculous but something to this effect:

<a href='gallery.php' target='iframe1' href='gallerymenu.php' target='iframe2'>click</a>

Thanks

PS. i would like to avoid an onclick event as something like this gets messy in Javascript when the html is written in Javascript due to quotes.

<A HREF='GalleryMenu.html' target='left' onClick='parent.frames[1].location.href='GalleryAlbums.php''"

Changing 2 iframes requires onclick event:<a href="gallery.php" target="iframe1" onclick="iframe1.location.href='gallery.php'; iframe2.location.href='gallerymenu.php'; return false;">click</a>

That is what i thought. However, I need to write that in javascipt e.g. using document.write().

How would i got about doing that as the quotations get me confused in this case.

thanks

If you ever need to make a quotation mark in a document.write, use:

document.write("this is a /"string/"")

//The /" tells the javascript not to use that " as the end of the string.

document.write("<A HREF='GalleryMenu.html' target='left' onClick='parent.frames[1].location.href=/"GalleryAlbums.php/"");

this doesnt work though. I am not sure of the syntax around the GalleryAlbums section of code as the onclick event is already in single quotes??

document.write("<A HREF='GalleryMenu.html' target='left' onClick='parent.frames[1].location.href=/"GalleryAlbums.php/"'>");


Might that be your problem?

document.write('<a href="gallery.php" target="iframe1" onclick="iframe1.location.href=\'gallery.php\'; iframe2.location.href=\'gallerymenu.php\'; return false;">click<\/a>');

Still no luck with this, I think this is a definite flaw with Javascript. however I have got round it by creating a function for the onclick event and the work is now done outside of the <a> element. Creating functions for the rollovers may take some time :P

Messy but it works. Thanks for all your help.
