I have been making webpages for like 5 years - if you believe it..
Still a newbie - I'm mostly an illustrator.

heres my thing:

I tried:

<p><a href="#" onClick=
"parent.frame1.location='http://www.url1.com';
parent.frame2.location='http://www.url2.com';
return false;
">link</a>

And that works good. Two pages open up in two target frames from a single link.

EXCEPT - - now I want one of those target frames to be the parent frame the link resides in.

Now this script wants to get stupid and not work for me.
Anybody know a way to do this??
Its gotta be an easy one, right?..

Thanks

So - nobody knows???

I doubt that.... Thanks anyway I guess....

Sorry Im not a more special programmer dude who's cool or anything...

sorry I cant help m8, I never use frames.

Yeah I stay away from frames aswell because they can get really complicated and also confus the user with to many scrollable areas.

Sorry I can't help either

Is he still here?

I'm no javascript expert but I was just wondering if you couldn't do it with this function;

[quote:a0c8511445]
function unFrame() {
if (self != top)
top.location.href = self.location.href;
}
[/quote:a0c8511445]

and call that.

er...am i being stupid here, or could the parent link just go in the href and have only one onclick event for the other?
