i need javascript with frames help

[Amiga]

Hi

i'm using the pulldown menu javascript from the javascript source site ( http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/menu-frames.html ) on a frameset with 5 frames. i need the main frameset page to change using the pull down menu which i can do by using the bit of javascript

parent.top.location.href=(form.dest.options[myindex].value);

however i also have my domain name displayed in the URL field of the browser all the time using a hidden frame....but when i use the pull down menu javacript it shows the real URL of the pages in the browser. so is there anyway to keep my domain name in the browser URL field while using the pull down menu javascipt?

thanks for any help or sugestions :)

It is possible the by using parent.top.location you are getting your error. Change to

parent.framename.location.href=(form.dest.options[myindex].value);

if top was your framename, switch to something else. top is a javascript reserved word...

in javascript self stands for the frame displaying the current page
so you should use self.location.href=(form.dest.options[myindex].value);

thanks for the swift response :)

putting the name of one of the frames in does change that frame however its not one of the frames thats i need to change but the whole frameset page that displays the frames.

is there a way to make that change?

how about this...

top.location.href=(form.dest.options[myindex].value);
