JavaScript in frames

[Bobby Peru]

could somebody explain me how to make this "combined menu" script work so that it opens links in another frame:

http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/combined-menu.html

I tried setting a target frame in form properties (using frontpage) and it added some code in html... the links still open in the same window though!

I've been trying to work around this for a couple of hours... I hope somebody will spare me of another 4 hours of troubleshooting!

thanks

Instead of this

window.location.href = url;

do this

top.framename.location.href = url;

Ok, I tried what you posted, Pyro.

It prompts a script error which says:

"top.framename.location is not an object"

I'm pretty new to this so I hope you'll all bear with me

"top.framename.location is not an object"

Where it says "framname" in the phrase above, you are supposed to put the name of the frame you are targetting. Framename is supposed to be a generic expression in this instance that means "put whatever your frame is named here".

[pyro]

top.framename.location.href needs to be top.thenameofyourframe.location.href, where thenameofyourframe is the name you gave your frame in your frameset.

But it works like a charm now...
