How to update 2 frames with 1 click in VBscript?

Ched · Sep 10, 2001

I'm a beginner in VBscript.

I'm trying find out how to update 2 frames at the same time with 1 link.

for example:

I have an ASP page that contains 2 frames. There's a toolbar frame and a content frame. I want to click on a link in the toolbar to update the content frame and the toolbar frame itself.

In Javascript, it can be done by the following function:

<script LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
function change2pages()
{
parent.newstoolbar.location.href = "newstoolbar2.htm";
parent.newscontent.location.href = "newscontent2.htm";
}
</script>

Can it be done in a similar approach in VBscript?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,
DOM is the same for VBScript and JavaScript.
So for this function it is a matter of different syntax:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> In one of the frames </TITLE>
<script LANGUAGE="VBScript">
sub change2pages
parent.newstoolbar.location.href = "newstoolbar2.htm"
parent.newscontent.location.href = "newscontent2.htm"
end sub
</script>

</HEAD>

<BODY>
<a href="#" onclick="change2pages">Change</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
