Have Two Frames Updated at Once

[Michael42]

Hello,

In standard HTML is it possible to have to frames changes the same time someone chooses a link?

I want both my left frame and detail frame to update when a particular link is selected.

Thanks,

Michael42

Sure it's possible. You'll need to modify the link to call a javascript function instead or linking to a url. Within that function you can force a different url to be loaded within the other frame, and then load a different url into the frame containing the link.

Tracy is right, I would just correct him in saying that it is not possible. With standard html it is not possible, you need employ some javascript. Of course you can always get rid of frames and then you have no problems changing two parts at the same time, even with standard html.

You're right, I missed the "standard html" part of the question. I've never gotten used to that kind of question. Kind of like asking if you can build a car using tinfoil and rubberbands.
