    Exclamation iFrame Targeting

    I am using iFrames on my site. I have the following main iFrames in use:

    Side Menu
    Document
    Sub Menu (Right)

    Here is my situation. I am targeting links ffrom the Side Menu iFrame to load pages into the Document iFrame. I am wanting to be able to click one link in the Side Menu iFrame, and be able to load a page into my Document iFrame and a completely different one into my Sub Menu iFrame.

    I need to know what technology I need to use to do this. I only know XHTML and CSS, but am willing to also use JS, but would rather stick to either CSS or XHTML. Is this possible?

    Here is the website being used for a visual example - Site.

    For a detailed explanation. I want to be able to go from the homepage (index) and click on my journals link and be able to load all the blog posts into my Document and load the archive into the Sub Menu. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

    Oiy, and I may be no c0demast3r, but that is a goal..........

    Please don't post the same issue in more than one of the forums. The other was removed, this one will remain. Thank you.

    <body onload="parent.frames[1].location.href='new.htm'">

    Modify 1 to fit the correct frame number

    okay....I get it so far, and I am sprry if I sound like a moron, but I need this to be clarified.

    <body onload="parent.frames[1].location.href='new.htm'">

    correct me if I am wrong, but <...href='new.html'"> is going to the the location of the document I want to load in the Sub Menu iFrame.

    what I dont understand though is this: <...frames[1]....>, since I have the name / id of the iFrame "rightside", is that the value I put there?

    Correct, and this goes code on the page loaded into the 'document' frame

    and.. untested but you can do this i thinks
    <body onload="parent.submenu.location.href='new.htm'">

    y...one more time, before I bother ya'll too much. I am having problems with this part of the tag.

    <body onload="parent.frames[rightside].location.href='http://jbl-archive.blogspot.com/'">

    I have this tag in the "document" iFrame, because I want the Archive ("rightside") to load in that "rightside" iFrame onLoad of the document iFrame.

    This is what I have, and I have tried it a bunch of different ways by playing with the tag, and still unable to get it. I know the problem can be fixed, but I am inexperienced, so I cannot see it right now. Thanks for your help.

    I did that one too, and no luck. I saw that you said it was untested, but might work, so I tested it....to no avail.
