navigation with frames

[caynada]

when dealing with frames, how do you create a link from the topFrame that links to an anchor in the mainFrame of a different frameset?

You do it something like this... <a href="page.htm#anchorname" target="mainframename">

thanks for your help. I'm actually trying to modify a DHTML menu call HVMenu. In it i've used this bit a javascript: "javascript:top.document.location.href='html/adult.html#yoga' target='MyFrameTwo';
But it doesn't seem to work. Have you any ideas?

Its not possible to guess that what is going on in the code that stops your piece of code from working,you may want to poin to a link to your pages...

I'm not to sure what you mean. I have inserted named anchors in the mainFrame of a frameset and I am trying to access it from this HVmenu which is in another frameset. Here is the first drop down menu:

Menu1=new Array("adult fitness","blank.htm","",8,18,140);
Menu1_1=new Array("group fitness classes", "javascript:top.document.location.href='html/adult.html';","",0,20,150);
Menu1_2=new Array("yoga & pilates","javascript:top.document.location.href='html/adult.html#yoga' target='MyFrameTwo';","",0);
Menu1_3=new Array("private gym","blank.htm","",0);
Menu1_4=new Array("personal training","blank.htm","",0);
Menu1_5=new Array("lifestyle coaching","blank.htm","",0);
Menu1_6=new Array("adult swimming","blank.htm","",0);
Menu1_7=new Array("specialty courses","blank.htm","",0);
Menu1_8=new Array("membership information","blank.htm","",0);

to access items in other frames,
parent.framesname.document.location.href='''''

should it look like this then:
Menu1_2=new Array("yoga & pilates","javascript:parent.MyFrameTwo.document.location.href=''html/adult.html#yoga' target='MyFrameTwo';","",0);

[caynada]

Menu1_2=new Array("yoga & pilates","javascript:parent.MyFrameTwo.document.location.href=''html/adult.html#yoga' target='MyFrameTwo';","",0);
