Hi,

I am trying to figure this out and was given the following as a hint: window.opener.frame[] I would appreciate any help. Basically, the idea is to create a pop up window and then have a link/button in the pop up window that changes a frame in the original window.

Thanks,
Riva

It doesn't work for me. My code is:

window.opener.top.toc1.location.href = "cookie1.htm";

??? Any ideas?

Thanks again,
Riva

with top first and it didn't work so I tried the window first instead. I don't get any errors, it just doesn't change.

Add the following line in your popup window

<a href="javascript:top.opener.nFrame.window.location.href='http://www.cnn.com';self.close();">Open CNN in parent Frame</a>

In th code above I assume that frame in which the cnn.com will open is named "nFrame", just change this to appropriate frame name and you should be in action..

Oh BTW, I have tested it,and works.

Cheers
