:( Here is my problem. I have an extensive frame set but for ease, lets say i have a left and right frame. The left frame hasan iframe in it (call it iframeleft). Sometimes (still have not discovered a pattern), when a link is clicked with iframeleft, a new window launches instead of the content loading in the right frame. I have figured out how to display an error message in the new windw, but what i really wnat to do is have it automatically update the right frame (where content should have been to begin with) by passing the right frame in the parent window the url and any variables and then automatically closing the incorrectly opened new window.

Anyone know how i might do this? or has anyone else encountered this problem before?

Thanks very much for any help,
cheryl

If I understood you correctly,you will need to maintain correct parent child relationship in calling frames inside of a frame.

1.all the frames are in a frameset
parent.
one of the frame has another frame
parent.frames['frameName'].frameName....

I hope I did not miss anything.this should work

:D
