multiple hyperlinks

[daybase]

Is it possible to have hyperlinks to two URLS from one click? I have a page with two target frames and most of the time I update one or the other but I have one application which would be really effective if I could update frame 1 with one URL and frame 2 with a different one all from the click of one button - any ideas please?

I'd just do a little JS function :

function 2URLs(a,b)
{
parent.leftFrame.location=a;
paremt.headerFrame.location=b;
}

Sorry my javascript is weak to say the least so please excuse the lame questions but how would I use this to load say 1.htm into frame a and 2.htm into frame b?

if you have the following HTML, I'll leave you to complete the corect definition for the frameset :

<frameset>
<frame name="headerFrame">
<frame name="leftFrame">
<frame name="mainFrame">
</frameset>

then in the frame mainFrame you would have the script shown above and this could be called form a link as follows :

<a href="#" onclick="2URLs('1.htm','2.htm');">click me</a>

But what if your visitors have Javascript switched off? Then they won't be able to follow this link at all.

Congratulations, you have found one of the many, many sucky things about frames. I'm surprised anybody is still using them in the 21st century. Ho hum, if you're stuck with using frames, a solution to this problem would be to write a new frameset document with the two pages you need, and link to that.

Thank you all - in the end I opted for an <a href= link plus an onClick event to give a picture two links.
