Delay frame/page load

[Mr Twirly Cane]

Hi.

I need to delay a frame loading. Just a few seconds. My navigation frame has many mouse-over graphics and I simply want the other two frames to be given a chance to build before my nav frame starts loading.

I need clear easy advice cos I'm stupid.

Any help most welcome. Many thanks in advance :o)

WOW! Thanks Dave.

My first reaction was to write back and say no - not OK, but I rubbed some brain cells together and I have it working. Got it inmy 1st (top) frame. Guess I can rig-up a delay with the 'onload' too if the 3rd frame needs more time.

Such a short simple and sweet solution. Thanks so much :)

Got a problem. IE6, NN6 and Mozilla work fine but NN4 doesn't load the nav frame (frame B). I get a Javascript error report I don't understand..."window.top.frames.B has no properties."

I've altered the code to allow the third frame a bit more time...

onLoad=setTimeout("window.top.frames['B'].location.href='left.html'",1000)

Have I done something wrong?
