Frames and actions in other frames

[ojf]

Is it possible to set up a script that makes it possible to have a button in one frame that makes the text scroll to an anchor in another frame?

to access another frame via script, you can use:

parent.framename.whatever jaredn@subdimension.com -

can someone elaborate on this - I have a page that has a link which opens up a framset. I want the link to open a frameset and scroll a document within that frameset to a specific named anchor. I know this is possible, using what is written above but am unsure how to set up the code. How much more water would there be in the ocean if it weren't for sponges?

Yes, it is possible:

1.
<a href=frame2.html#1 TARGET=&quot;another&quot;>link to an anchor in other frame</a>

2.
parent.frames[1].location.href = another.html#1

3.
parent.content.location.hash=1;


The frameset is this:
<FRAMESET>
<FRAME SRC=some.html NAME=&quot;list&quot;>
  <FRAME SRC=another.html NAME=&quot;content&quot;>
</FRAMESET>

And another.html should have an anchor named &quot;1&quot;:
<a name=&quot;1&quot;>

i think the way i ended up dealing with this was to do something in javascript like:

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=window.open(&quot;myPage.html#Article3&quot;,&quot;myPage&quot;,&quot;width=700,height=400,scrollbars,resizable&quot;><img src=&quot;images/igloo.jpg&quot; width=&quot;79&quot; height=&quot;39&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;></a>

i.e. - when you click on the image of the igloo, you open a brand new browser window which contains myPage.html and scrolls right to the third named anchor (#article3) on that page. How much more water would there be in the ocean if it weren't for sponges?
