Help with Parent Frames....

[dcusick]

I have a page that has three frames, labeled Top, Left, and Bottom.&nbsp;&nbsp;The layout is shown below...<br>&nbsp;______________<br>¦&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;¦ Top&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;¦<br>¦&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;¦________¦<br>¦Left ¦&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;¦<br>¦&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;¦ Bottom ¦<br>¦_____¦________¦<br><br>When a button is clicked in the &quot;left&quot; frame, it pops up a window and asks for a password.&nbsp;&nbsp;If the password is correct, done in Javascript, it should open up a page in the &quot;Bottom&quot; frame.&nbsp;&nbsp;The current code I have to open it is 'parent.opener.location.href = target'<br><br>Where target is a variable holding the name of the page.&nbsp;&nbsp;This command opens up the page in the &quot;Left&quot; frame, where it was originally called from.&nbsp;&nbsp;What syntax do I use to refer to the &quot;Bottom&quot; Frame when a popup box is opened from the &quot;Left&quot; Frame.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks in advance for your help.<br><br>Doug

I think you should use: self.opener.parent.BottomFrame.location.href=target<br>where &quot;BottomFrame&quot; is the name of the bottom frame (&lt;frame name=&quot;BottomFrame&quot; ....&gt. <p>IvanP<br><a href=mailto:ip@thehyper.net>ip@thehyper.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Thanks for the reply but unfortunately the code doesn't work.&nbsp;&nbsp;What normally happens is a popup window opens, a password is entered, then, if correct, the window closes and it opens the target html.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I put this code in, the popup window acknowledged the password, yet never closed itself down and the page didn't load up in the frame.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any other help is greatly appreciated.<br>

Strange -&nbsp;&nbsp;I made some quicktests and it should work. May be I could help better if I see the code of the frameset. <p>IvanP<br><a href=mailto:ip@thehyper.net>ip@thehyper.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Hi again.<br><br>This code should work:<br>self.opener.parent.Bottom.location.href=trget<br>(at least it worked by me)<br>note that I am using variable named &quot;trget&quot; instead &quot;target&quot; - with var name target I had also problems with the JS - obviously it is reserved. (Previously I tested direct with filename)<br><br>I hope that this helps. <p>IvanP<br><a href=mailto:ip@thehyper.net>ip@thehyper.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
