mouseover opens new window, not into frame

altaratz · Apr 16, 2001

I'm trying the below to open a javascript in a frame (main.htm), when mouseOver an image, but it keeps opening a new window - any thought? Thanks!

<HTML>
<base target="main"><HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onMouseover="fullScreen('

http://www.link.com');"><img

src="

http://www.link.com/link.gif"></a>

</body></html>

Try this:

[tt]<A HREF="

http://www.link.com"

TARGET="main"><IMG SRC="

http://www.link.com/link.gif"></A>

[/tt]

where TARGET holds the name of the frame you want to update.

Later. I hope this helped! ;-)

Casey,

That worked - however, I wanted to cause the link on mouseOver, and not to have to click the img src. - can I do this, or shoudl I use the onLoad event handler - sample source code would be great - thanks!

<A HREF="javascript:void(0);" onMouseOver="parent.frame_name.location.href='

http://www.link.com'"><IMG

SRC="

http://www.link.com/link.gif"></A>

Look better? This should be what you were talking about.

Change "frame_name" to your frame's name and you're good to go. Catch my drift?

Later. I hope this helped! ;-)

Casey -

Thanks very much - that was perfect. Sometimes I just go blank - very bad feeling, let me tell you!

Thanks again.
