opening two pages with one link

[mdanan]

I'm currently using two frames, (1) navigation, (2) body, and I wanted to change both frame content by clicking on one link from the navigation. How do I do that?

one way would be to use a navigation bar like this

http://javascript.internet.com/foldertree/foldertree.zip Don't use JavaScript for this, you'll just end up with a broken link for the 13% of users that do not use JavaScript. Instead simply switch out the whole frameset. THis will also solve for the nasty problem associated with frames. People will be better to link to your site.

13%?! I can't believe this. Are you sure this number is accurate? I would have estimated not even 1% have JavaScript disabled

yeah i thought 13% is pretty high care to share your source charles?

I was astonished a bit myself. However, as some people cannot use JavaScript because of some disability even if it were 1% it would be bad to make a JavaScript dependant site.

I just had a look at those stats on thecounter.com
It's just amazing. 2% of all web users are using 8-bit colors (256), I just can't beleave it...

It would be interesting to see these stats for different countries.
