Refreshing to a target frame

seanbo · Nov 1, 2003

i have a frames page with two frames - 'bottom' and 'top'. my default, the 'top' frame contains 'main.htm', and the 'bottom' frame contains 'main2.htm'. these three files, and one called 'test.htm' are all in the same folder.

i want to know how to get the top frame (main.htm) to load test.htm into the 'bottom' frame. at the moment i have this code in main.htm:

<html>

<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="1; URL=test.htm; TARGET=bottom";>
<title>frame test</title>
<base target="bottom">
</head>

<body>
<p>top frame</p>
</body>

</html>

this seems to make test.htm appear in the 'top' frame. what do i need to do?

seanbo,

Just add

Code:

TAGRET="main"

to your links (in your top frame). Like this:

Code:

<A HREF="test.htm" TARGET="bottom">Test me</A>

Good luck §;O)

i don't want to create a hyperlink. i want it to be automatic. when a page appears in the top frame, i want it to change the page in the bottom frame.
