when dealing with frames, how do you create a link from the topFrame that links to an anchor in the mainFrame of a different frameset?<!--content-->You do it something like this... <a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"page.htm#anchorname" target="mainframename"><!--content-->thanks for your help.

In it i've used this bit a javascript: "javascript:top.document.location.href='http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/html/adult.html#yoga' target='MyFrameTwo';<br />
But it doesn't seem to work. Have you any ideas?<!--content-->Its not possible to guess that what is going on in the code that stops your piece of code from working,you may want to poin to a link to your pages...<!--content-->I'm not to sure what you mean.
