Hi
Would someone be able to help me please? I'm trying to get the new page that this script brings up to load in another frame called "middle", rather than in the same frame, but I can't see how to do it.
Would be very grateful for any help.
Thanks
Beck

Change the following:

if (opener.closed) {
root=window.open('','theKeepersGopher','toolbar=yes,location=y
es,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable =yes,copyhistory=no');
root.location.href = location;
} else {
opener.location.href = location;
}

to:

window.frames['middle'].location=location;

Hi
This doesn't seem to work - no page is loaded anywhere - I think it may be looking for a frame called 'middle' within the pop-up window that contains this script - rather than the root opener window.
I need to somehow target a frame within the opener window. Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm a rank beginner at Javascripting, so you experts, don't shoot me down....

Beck, I'm wondering if you could do something along this line:

function opensetAttribute(){
('target','middle');
}

Of course, you probably have to add "root" somewhere there to get the browser to look for the middle frame on the root rather than opening yet another window.

I hope that helps rather than hinders.

Thanks it gave me a few ideas to try - none of which have worked...
Any other advice out there?

Thanks

Got it - yay!

function fetch(location) {
var root;
if (opener.closed) {
root=window.open('','theKeepersGopher','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=y es,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no');
root.location.href = location;
} else {
opener.parent.middle.location.href = location;
}
}

shorter solution:

window.open(location, 'middle');
