sorry about that, i was doing the treetable using for loop. after i finish i realise i dunno how to pass the data from one frame(the treetable) to another frame(the frame beside it) . So the site will have two frames one beside another...

here my part of my treetable(when i onClick i call this function), abit messy....

function toogle_state(nodeCounter) // this toogle the state
{
var location = nodeCounter.sourceIndex // locate the location of the nodeCounter
var locationIMG = document.all[location + 1] //this locate the IMG tag for this
var nextDivLocation = document.all[location+2] // location the DIV
if (nextDivLocation.style.display =="")
{
nextDivLocation.style.display = "none"
locationIMG.src = "plus.gif";
}
else
{
nextDivLocation.style.display = ""
locationIMG.src = "minus.gif";
}
}

heres my Index

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>Window explorer Copy cat</title>
<FORM NAME="Index">
</FORM>
<FRAMESET rows = "10%,*">
<FRAME SRC="treementtop.html" NAME="topthingy">
<FRAMESET cols = "*,80%" >
<FRAME SRC="finaltree.html" NAME="finaltree">
<FRAME SRC="sidethingy.html" NAME="sidethingy">
</frameset>
</frameset>
</head>
</HTML>

i still lack the skill to pass data/infor/whatever u all call it to another frame...

Is the code you posted located in finaltree.html (finaltree frame)? And you want to pass the data to the sidethingy.html (sidethingy frame)?

parent.frames['sidethingy'].document.getElementById("theId").innerHTML=nodeCounter.data;

sidethingy.html should have a tag with id theId

<div id="theId"></div>

Hope this is what you want.

if (nodes.hasChildNodes)

document.writeln("<DIV>")

for (var i=0; i < nodes.childNodes.length; i++) // write second layer out then pass the third layer to the writechildren() funtion

<div id="theid" style="font:normal 12px Verdana;color:blue;"></div>

or

<head>
<style type="text/css">
div#theid {
font:normal 12px Verdana;
color:blue;
}
</style>
</head>
...
<div id="theid"></div>

Is that what you were asking for?

Hi, I have a similar problem I was hoping I could get help with.

I have a photo gallery website. I have a frame on the left side with all the thumbnails and I want the images onMouseOver to appear in a div on the Right frame which is the main page. I have all of the java script for the mouseover in the left/thumbnail frame as well as the div thats holds the appearing images. I want to move the div over to the right frame.

I would greatly appreciate anyones sudgestion to this problem

Thanks... Schuby
