linking to multiple frames 1

[bugg]

Hi, I'm working on a website that consists of a number of frames:

mainFrame
titleFrame
navFrame
logoFrame

within the nav frame, I have a table set up with multiple text "links", and I'd like clicking on one to change both the mainFrame and the titleFrame, but have only been successful in getting it to change one or the other. I'd like to keep the navFrame and logoFrame the as the same things regardless of the mainFrame and titleFrame's content. Do I have to create a whole new frameset for each "page", or am I able to just update these two frames? Any suggestions? thanks much

Though I don't know much about javascript, i know that u can do this using it. You can use the following function to load any page in any frame.
e.g. onClick="MM_goToURL('parent.frames[\'anyFrame\']','pagetoopen.htm');

function MM_goToURL() { //v3.0
var i, args=MM_goToURL.arguments; document.MM_returnValue = false;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-1); i+=2) eval(args+&quot;.location='&quot;+args[i+1]+&quot;'&quot;
}

I hope it works for u.

<a href=&quot;link.htm&quot; target=&quot;titleFrame&quot; onclick=&quot;window.mainFrame.location='link.htm'&quot;>click here</a>

sometime you just gotta say &quot;WHAT THE @#*% !!&quot;

thanks to both of you, I got it to work hybridizing the two as:

onclick=&quot;'parent.cardFrame.location='cardwellConsulting.htm'&quot;

&quot;window.frame.location&quot; wasn't working for me, but &quot;parent.frame.location&quot; seems to... is there a way to make this onclick action manipulate two (or more) frames, or would I have to write and invoke a function such as in Harshdeep's suggestion?
thanks

You should be able to use, note the &quot;;&quot; seperating the commands.

onclick="parent.cardFrame.location='cardwellConsulting.htm';parent.nutherFrame.location='nexthtmlpage.htm'"
