Execute two javascripts with one link?

[cactus1000]

In a frames page, I need to click on a link in the left frame, and run some script from another page in the right frame:

javascriptarent.right.openandclose(0)

This works, but only if the page containing the script is already open. I know I need to have the link open the page in the right frame before running the script, but I don't know the proper syntax.

How do I do both with just one link?

javascriptarent.right.openandclose(0); functionname[1]; functionname[2]; etc.

Listen All I ask is that You close out a Post You Started!!!!

Actually, I'm trying to do this, but with no luck so far:

<a href="javascriptarent.right.location.href = 'file.htm;'; openandclose(0);"

I've also tried:


<A HREF="file.html" TARGET="right" onClick="javascriptarent.right.openandclose(0)">

This almost works, except the function "openandclose()" only flashes for a nanosecond and disappears.

If I already have the file open and use the link:

<a href="javascriptarent.right.openandclose(0)">

Then the function runs normally.

Any thoughts?

not really that up on Javascript but could the 0 have anything to do with your problem -- but thats just a blind man pissing in the dark

sorry

I dont think its the "0".

Here's a post I did this morning that might make more sense:

I need the following to happen with a single click:

1. navigate to new page (with named anchor)

2. run javascript.

here's what I have so far:

<a href="deadlines.html#slr" target="right" onClick="javascriptarent.right.openandclose(1)">

The problem (I think), is that the onClick event triggers before the href navigation. Since the navigation hasn't occurred yet the script can't execute.

This works if I click on the link twice, but that won't do. I need both things to happen with a single click.

Any ideas?
