Targeting frame"2" with javascript hover buttons? :S

[mattyb]

First I would like to start off by saying sorry! Sorry I know nothing about Javascript! I inserted these buttons on to my Venture Companies website when I built it last year using Frontpage now I need to update this site using frames and the Javascript is not allowing me too target frame "2"and I no longer have Frontpage. I did do a search but didn't find anything helpfull to my problem.
Here is the code for one button(as origanally impleminted):
<applet code="fphover.class" codebase="./" width="120" height="24">
<param name="color" value="#3399FF">
<param name="bgcolor" value=" #FFFFFF ">
<param name="textcolor" value="#FFFF00">
<param name="font" value="Helvetica">
<param name="fontstyle" value="bold">
<param name="fontsize" value="14">
<param name="text" value="Equipment">
<param name="url" valuetype="ref" value="equ.html">
<param name="hovercolor" value="#FF0033">
<param name="effect" value="bevelOut">
</applet>
I have tried the following(changes in red ):

<applet code="fphover.class" codebase="./" width="120" height="24">
<param name="color" value="#3399FF">
<param name="bgcolor" value=" #FFFFFF ">
<param name="textcolor" value="#FFFF00">
<param name="font" value="Helvetica">
<param name="fontstyle" value="bold">
<param name="fontsize" value="14">
<param name="text" value="Equipment">
<param name="url" valuetype="ref" value="equ.html" Target="2" >
<param name="hovercolor" value="#FF0033">
<param name="effect" value="bevelOut">
</applet>
Then I tried:
<applet code="fphover.class" codebase="./" width="120" height="24">
<param name="color" value="#3399FF">
<param name="bgcolor" value=" #FFFFFF ">
<param name="textcolor" value="#FFFF00">
<param name="font" value="Helvetica">
<param name="fontstyle" value="bold">
<param name="fontsize" value="14">
<param name="text" value="Equipment">
<onClick="parent.2.location='main.html'">
<param name="hovercolor" value="#FF0033">
<param name="effect" value="bevelOut">
</applet>
Neither of these worked. Any suggestions? If you want to view the site go to: http://www.booyah.tk . Sorry about the pop-ups I will be changing servers soon to get rid of these!
Thank you,

[mattyb]

Sorry I don't know how to veiw them I will atach here for you to look at. I tried using notepad and it came out as gibberish, and ready won't open classes. So here are the files.

I'm not sure what you mean by the bevelout feature. I'm new to jscript try to bear with me.

fphover.class is Java not JavaScript and is part of the FrontPage package ("fp" hover.)

1) Do not name frames with numbers, use names.
<FRAME NORESIZE="YES" NAME="2" SRC="main.html">
use this instead
<FRAME NORESIZE="YES" NAME="mainFrame" SRC="main.html">

Change your Java Applet params to this :-

<applet code="fphover.class" codebase="./" width="120" height="24">
<param name="color" value="#3399FF">
<param name="bgcolor" value=" #FFFFFF ">
<param name="textcolor" value="#FFFF00">
<param name="font" value="Helvetica">
<param name="fontstyle" value="bold">
<param name="fontsize" value="14">
<param name="text" value="Equipment">
<param name="url" valuetype="ref" value="equ.html">
<param name="target" value="mainFrame">
<param name="hovercolor" value="#FF0033">
<param name="effect" value="bevelOut">

I tried that it does the exact same thing as the rest of the things I've tried...... Absolutely nothing
:S This is really confusing anyone else have any thoughts?

[RoyW]

<param name="target" value"main">

should be

<param name="target" value="main">

[mattyb]

That didn't work either :S. Now when you click the link absolutley nothing heppens. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

I just checked out the link you posted above ( http://www.booyah.tk/ ) and it worked for me.

[mattyb]

Ok, It works now for my friends, but still not for me. One of my computers that won't run
it is using IE. 5. Can someone else with IE. 5. try it and tell me what happens please. Also
anyone running Opera or Netscape if you could test it I would be most appreciative.

Thank you,

Hi mattyb,

I just visited your site using my server which still has IE5 and all your buttons seemed to work just fine.

I hope you or some of the brainstrusts that use this BBS can get to the bottom of it. Your problem has got me intrigued.:)

[mattyb]

:o Oh really, well thanks for your help but is is probablly just my computers.

Thank you,
