Using buttons in a frameset page

[crystalb24]

I'm trying to use buttons to direct users through pages in a frameset using this code:

<input name="button 1" type="button" class="style20" onClick="MM_goToURL('parent','instructions.htm');return document.MM_returnValue" value="First Time User">

but when it redirects to the URL it does so outside of the frameset. I need it to target to "_mainFrame", but I'm not familiar enough with button tags to know how to do this.

target="_mainFrame" ?

At a glance, try changing

MM_goToURL('parent','instructions.htm')

to

MM_goToURL('[red]_mainFrame[/red]','instructions.htm')

Crystal - it depends on the code inside your function.

Just from guessing, I would assume the first parameter you're passing in is the target. If this is so, call the function like this:

onclick="MM_goToURL('_mainFrame','instructions.htm'); return document.MM_returnValue;"

neither way works, i had tried changing 'parent' to '_mainFrame', hoping that it would be that simple but no luck, and adding 'target="_mainFrame"' has no effect. i'm wondering if it might be easier to use an image instead of a button and link that way?

We're gonna need to see the code of your function.
