multiload pages into multiple frames?

liunx · Jan 9, 2008

Hello, 
I'm using frames in a webpage. I'm trying to get one page in a frame to autoload a second page in another frame when that first page is opened. Essentially trying to get one link to open two pages in two frames. I would like to extend this to 3 pages in three frames if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.For the sake of my explaination, which might be wrong, I'm naming them framA and frameB 
 
I think you should be able to make the HTML src of the page being displayed in frameA have something like this attached: 
<body onLoad="frameB.location='TheNewPage'"> 
Then when the first page loads, it makes the next page load too. 
That is the only way I know how to do it. If you're using a link instead of OnLoad then just make an onClick statement within the link that says the same as that onLoad method.Thanks for the help. I'm still having trouble though. i tried using your suggestion, but I it doesn't seem to be working. here are some samples of the actual line of codes i tried 
 
<BODY onLoad="list2.location='black.html'" BGCOLOR="#000000"> 
 
or 
 
<BODY onLoad="list2='black.html'" BGCOLOR="#000000"> 
 
where "list2" is the frame name i'm trying to autoload "black.html" to 
 
nothing seems to be happening.... I am also using a java script for creating a pulldown menu. Could this be causing conflicts with the onload command? More suggestions are welcomed. 
 
Here is the entire file 
 
 
<HTML> 
<HEAD> 
 
<TITLE></TITLE> 
 
 
<script > 
 
 
</script> 
 
</HEAD> 
 
<BODY onLoad="list2.location='black.html'" BGCOLOR="#000000"> 
 
 
<form action="dummy" method="post"><select name="choice" size="1" onChange="jump(this.form)"> 
<option value="">Select Category</option> 
<option value="">--------------------------------------</option> 
<option value="">Photography</option> 
<option value="list-photo-abstract.html*list2">__Abstracts</option> 
<option value="">__Details</option> 
<option value="">__People</option> 
<option value="">__Scenes</option> 
<option value="">__Objects</option> 
<option value=""> </option> 
<option value=""> </option></option> 
<option value=""> </option> 
<option value=""> </option> 
<option value=""> </option> 
</select></form> 
</BODY> 
</HTML>http://www.snippetlibrary.com/code.php?id=5&kid=21&catname=FramesNow that I see the code I am sure the last stuff I told you isn't what you want. I'll look around and see what I can find.Okay. That page that scoutt gave you is what I was trying for. I took the source that you have and did a little moddy to it. Here's what I got: 
<script > 
 
</script> 
</head> 
<body bgcolor="#000000"> 
<form action="dummy" method="post"><select name="choice" size="1" onChange="jump(this.form)"> 
<option value="">Select Category</option> 
<option value="">--------------------------------------</option> 
<option value="">Photography</option> 
<option value="untitled2.html*1*untitled.html*0">__Abstracts</option> 
You don't need all of that script that you had. The script that I have there should do it. The untitled pages can be changed to whatever you want. The reason that it was working is because of the: 
"list-photo-abstract.html*list2" that you had in before. 
The parent.frames[] is an array of the frames that you had. List2 is the target that you want but is not an array value. The array starts with 0 and goes up. The first frame in your frameset is the 0 in the array and it keeps going up. You were placing a name into the array instead of a number. I hope that makes sence. If it doesn't PM me and I'll try to explain better.That worked out great.... If you're interested, I'll let you know what the web address is once I put it up. 
 
Thanks so much.
