[hoodymahood]

how can you direct rhe onclick tag.

like you declare a target in html whats the JS equivilent

<A HREF="#" onClick="window.open('your url', 'frameName'); return false">

-or-

<A HREF="your url" TARGET="frameName">

..........

<IFRAME SRC="this.html" NAME="frameName">

sorry i dont seem to have made my request clear,

im trying to make a table cell link to the iframe

so when for example you click anywhere on the cell not the text it will link to the iframe and open the page.

i think its something like

onclick="window.framename.location='page.htm'"

but htis does not seem to work

[Quiet Storm]

Hmm.... Try this:

<TABLE>
<TR><TD WIDTH="200">
<A HREF="#" STYLE="width:100%;" onclick="window.framename.location='page.htm';">text</A>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>

Try this

<table>
<tr>
<td onclick="document.framename.location.href='page.htm'">SOME TEXT
</td>
</tr>
</table>

[Quiet Storm]

LOL!

Beat ya, MrJ! :P

Either one should work, hoodymahood...

[adios]

<td onclick="document.framename.location.href='page.htm'">

Don't believe this works in NS/Mozilla....you'd need to use document.getElementById(iframe_id), or access the window.frames[] collection as above. IE allows all sorts of non-standard referencing, shocking.

I'd have to agree... I don't think that Mr. J's version will validate in XHTML either... but I haven't validated it. :D

i think this is more cross-browser:

<td onclick="window.open('targetpage','targetFrameName')">
