document.location, in frames

The · Mar 31, 2003

Hey,
I have a javascript on a link that uses "document.loaction='<insert page here>' ". My problem is that I want the "target" to be another frame (like when you would do <a href="blahdlfjl" target="whatever">).

here's my basic code:

<head>
<script language="javascript">
function Start(page) {
var path='

http://rm_2k.tripod.com/temp1/'+page

document.location=(path)
}

</script>

and in the body,

<a href="javascript:function('test1.html')">text here</a>

can anyone help?
