I have a frames page called index.htm. two of the frames in it ('left' and 'right') need to be filled with html pages specified in the url. in other words, i want to be able to use a url like this -

(i am just guessing at what this will look like)

- to get the specified pages into the correct frames. if nothing is passed, i want the frame to be blank (about:blank). what do i need to put into my index.htm to allow me to acheive this?

seanbo,

I've seen a couple of questions from you on this topic. Let me go over it for you:

AFAIK you *cannot* send values from one page to another using only JavaScript! Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...

You have to use a server side script language like PHP or ASP to pick up parameters/values.

However, if you just want one click to update more than one frame, it can be done like this:

Code: 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
    function update(){
      parent.f1.location.href=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_reference.asp&quot;;[/URL]
      parent.f2.location.href=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp&quot;;[/URL]
    }
  </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
  <CENTER>
    <IFRAME SRC=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com&quot;[/URL] NAME=&quot;f1&quot; WIDTH=&quot;95%&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;40%&quot;>
    </IFRAME><BR><BR>
    <IFRAME SRC=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.filesearching.com&quot;[/URL] NAME=&quot;f2&quot; WIDTH=&quot;95%&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;40%&quot;>
    </IFRAME><BR><BR>
    <A HREF=&quot;javascript:update()&quot;>Help me!</A>
  </CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>

My example uses IFRAMEs, but they act the same as FRAMEs.

If this does not fulfill your needs, then post a link to a page that can do what you want to do.

Good luck §;O)

firts of all, you can send variables from one page to another using javascript. the website i'm building now already passes variables from one page to another to control a swf.

secondly, who said anything about javascript? i just want a way of getting a parameter using GET, then use it to set the content of a frame
