[Javascript] two frames, two hrefs

[Peter Brunone]

    Right, but then you're not triggering a link; you're running a function.

    And yes, you can specify a function as the URL (works if you just type
some script in the browser while on a page as well).

| Technically, you can...
|
| In the frame where the links are, place this code in the header:
|
| function intro(){
| parent.frames['frame1'].location="introf.htm";
| parent.frames['frame2'].location="introt.htm";
| }
|
| Obviously you'll need to change the frame names and file names. I think I
| remember setting the location to a function and having it work.
|
| Then, in the link that you want to trigger all the stuff, put this code:
|
| <A HREF="JavaScript: intro()"; return true>Click</a>

|     What's the behavior?  I don't think you can "trigger" a link from
| another frame...

| | Thanks for the response Peter.  Is it possible to call that link in
frame
| A
| | instead of doing a reload() of frame A?  The behavior I've set for
| reloading
| | the page is a little different than the "Refresh" link.
