hi, i have a page with frames called index.html, the two frames are called 'nav' and 'main'. i want to link from another page to this index.html page and instead of having the link <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://bla.com/stuff/index.html">http://bla.com/stuff/index.html</a><!-- m --> and having the default frame for 'main' loading, i want to be able to link to it and have it specify which frame to load in 'main'. i tried linking like this <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://bla.com/stuff/index.html?main=doc3.html">http://bla.com/stuff/index.html?main=doc3.html</a><!-- m --> thinking that would make the 'main' frame load doc3.html but that didnt work. is there a way to do this? your help would be appreciated!<!--content-->not exactly sure i understand, but...<br />
in your link, you can specify which frame you want the page to open in like this....<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"COOLWEBSITE.html" target="whateverframe"><!--content-->yes, but i am not coming from within the page with the frames, i want to link it from outside<!--content-->you can do this<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://bla.com/stuff/index.html?main=doc3.html">http://bla.com/stuff/index.html?main=doc3.html</a><!-- m --> <br />
<br />
but you have to have some form of serverside script process that and load it in the frame.<br />
<br />
search this site as it has been explained more than once. I beleive in the client side forum or the serverside forum.<!--content-->
