changing iframes in another frame?

HI, 
 
This may sound a little complex. 
 
I am trying to change two iframes with ONE link located in a different frame: 
 
So: 
 
Link x in FRAME1 should change IFRAMEa and IFRAMEb in FRAME2 
 
Is this possible? 
 
Thx!What you want to do is done in a scripting language like JavaScript. Here is a way to do it with regular frames (I used frame2 and frame3 since you have two iframes in one frame): 
 
The link - 
... href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#" onClick="javascript: loadLink('pageReferredForMain.htm', 'pageReferredForMenu.htm')" 
 
The JavaScript function (this goes in the <head> section)- 
<script language='JavaScript'> 
function loadLink(mainPage, menuPage) 
{ 
parent.frames["frame2"].document.location = frame2; 
parent.frames["frame3"].document.location = frame3; 
} 
</script> 
 
or 
 
The JavaScript/link in one- 
... onClick="javascript: parent.parent.framename_goes_here.location='frame_2_filename.ext';parent.parent.framename_goes_here. location='frame_3_filename.ext'" 
 
Hope this gives you an idea! 
 
Note: In the onClick attribute, it says 'java script:' with a space which is incorrect. Just delete the space.
