Changing content of two frames w/one link?

[Rougeux]

I have a webpage with two rows, with the lower row divided into two columns. The left column has a menu with links and the right column has the contents. On the top row, I would like to include a title that changes as different links are followed. Is there any way I can have one of my menu links change the contents section and the top title row?

Thanks, that's what I need. I just need to know how to change this so that the top frame will change to raggy.html instead of the frame that hosts the link.

<a href="zoinks.html"
onClick="window.self.location='raggy.html'" target="otherframe">
Zombies</a>

<a href="raggy.html"
onClick="window.self.location='zoinks.html'" target="otherframe">
Zombies</a>

Sorry I'm not explaining this well. I've got three frames, like this:
_______________
_______________l
...l....................l
...l....................l
...l....................l
...l....................l
...l....................l
...l....................l
...l....................l

I want the left (skinny) frame's links to change both the top and right frames. The left frame will remain a menu.


Could I just change the self in window.self.location to top? I'll try it...

you have a frame named top? that's a bad idea. top is a name reserved by javascript. if you write
<a href="raggy.html"
onClick="top.location='zoinks.html'" target="otherframe">
Zombies</a> , that will replace the entire browser window, with zoinks.html

otherwise, you're right, and i'm sorry for the misunderstanding. you just change the window.self.location to self.FRAMENAME.location.

Ok, I'll change the name of the frame, too. I haven't taken any classes or anything on HTML so I don't know very much. Thanks for your help.
