Frame Targets

[pbcharlie]

I have a bit code that I am using to drive page changes, however I need to know if I can target it to a specific frame?

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
//<!--
function changePage()
{
i = document.selectmenu.go.selectedindex;
window.location.href = document.selectmenu.go.value;
}

//-->
</script>
as this script currently opens a new page within the current frame.


The form that calls this function uses
<option value&quot;<%= Objeitem.name %>&quot;><%=Left(objitem.name., InstrRev(objItem.Name, &quot;.&quot -1)%></option>

Sure you can, just put the name of the target frame after the window object:

window.framexxx.document.location=document.selectmenu.go.value;

I have tried this now, and I still get an error.
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
//<!--
function changePage()
{
i = document.selectmenu.go.selectedindex;
window.mainFrame.document.location = document.selectmenu.go.value;
}

//-->
</script>

Am I doing something wrong.
The Drop down is in the Top Frame and is trying to open a page in the mainFrame.
....


What Else can I do?

I am used to do this:

top.myframe.location.href=newLocation

That usually works fine.

The error can be the syntax of your script:

//<!--
function changePage()
{
i = document.selectmenu.go.selectedindex;
window.mainFrame.document.location = document.selectmenu.go.value;
}

//-->

Repair this:

1-(selectedIndex)

*** i=document.selectmenu.go.selectedIndex;


2-(options[])

*** window.mainFrame.document.location = document.selectmenu.go.options.value;

The options, again:

*** window.mainFrame.document.location=
document.selectmenu.go.options.value;
