How do I open two Iframes from one link?

[a01020304]

I plan on having a page with two iframes, one frame that has text content and one frame that has the image that corresponds with the text.

The main iframe will be controlled by a dropdown menu so when subject is chosen the frame opens with text, this part I have done and works fine.

My main issue is how can I get the 2nd frame to open with an image as soon as main frame is opened. I am looking for a simple script that as soon as Iframe1 opens it automatically opens Iframe2 with the corresponding image.

someone said it will be something like this?

<script type="text/javascript">
function change_frames(url1) {
window.open(url1,'InlineFrame2');
}
</script>

but it just does not seem right and cannot figure out how to impliment this to the text file that Iframe1 would utilise.

First of all using an iframe just to show an image is (to say the least of it) unnecessary.
The most maintainable way to do this is to have an image placeholder in your parent page:

<img id='myPic' src='default.jpg'>

Then in each iframed document:

<script type='text/javascript'>

parent.document.getElementById( 'myPic' ).src = 'relatedimage.jpg';

</script>

thanks for the suggestiuon, but the way i have set up the page it has 2 iframes and one is specifically for images, thats why i am looking for specific script that does that.

That is a bad way for SEO BTW.

i dont care about SEO, its just how i require this specific page to load. The page has been specifically made with 2 iframes for a reason. Once i get the script i need i will show you all what it was about so will make sense in the long run.

What code are you using to do that? It should be easy to modify.

An alternative is to have code like this in the text iframe:

<script type='text/javascript'>

 parent.document.getElementById( 'pictureIframe' ).src = 'relatedpage.htm';  

</script>
