beginner alert: open a hyperlink on another frame

[leo_bassani]

I have searched and searched and searched. Nothing Worked!

Tried to use the following:

"javascript:parent.content.location='test_link.html'"

It opens the frame on the correct CONTENT location. But, it odly opens a blank page with the link name, replacing the original linking frame with a blank one!

What's up??

Help it greatly appreciated. thank you

Show the entire context of your statement. Is it in a hyperlink or something?

[leo_bassani]

It is a javascript, a menu system. It is hyperlinks, that is correct:

the context:

menu4.addItem("Interactive Multimedia Design", "javascript:parent.content.location='http://www.yahoo.com'");
menu4.addItem("E-Commerce and Web Development", "cnt/ecommerce.html");


Again, I was trying to link the menu links, which is located in a frameset's frame named MAIN. I want a link to link to a frame called CONTENT.

It opens the frame on the correct CONTENT location. But, it odly opens a blank page with the link name, replacing the original linking frame with a blank one!

(This is like pulling teeth)

Specifically the HTML that is created by calling menu4.addItem().

Also, make sure when you reply that you check the box marked "Disable Smilies in This Post" below the reply window.

Hey, I thank you so much for the patience. BUt I do not understand your question.


GO to this page, where I got the menu source:

The code is all there, I think it will be so much easier.

THanks!
