navigation bar in frames, back button

[tesscm]

I designed my site with a constant navigation bar in the left frame. If a button is clicked, the button shows its 'down' state ( inverse colors when its page is being displayed). However, if the user clicks on the back button, the button stays in its 'down' state even though the user is now on a different page. Is there any way to get the navigation bar to reflect that the user is now on a different page (i.e., by showing the appropriate button in its down state?) even though the 'back' button was used to get there?

This is really a javascript issue, so you can either delete this thread or wait until (or if) it is moved.

If you show me the code I may be able to help you.

The code is at www.devorapublishing.com/navigationbar.htm.
Thanks in advance.

What you need is a timeout to track the location.href of the target frame, and then update the navbar colors when it changes

Brothercake,
Where can I find an example of a timeout?

[brothercake]

here's a simple example

function checkUrl() {

var ddl = parent.contentFrame.document.location.href;

if(ddl.indexOf("page.html") { ... change color ... }

}

var historyTimer = setTimeout("checkUrl()",500);



A more complex example can be found at http://www.brothercake.com/scripts/tabs_demos/frameset/frameset.html which does exactly what you;re after
