I have a simple html page: home.html. Here there are 5 links, all they link to frame.html, a page with a frameset and 4 frame. 2 named frame(intestazione and centrale) have to change depending whitch link i press in home.html.
I'm trying in this way:
home.html:
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function toped(testa, corpo) {

var tested = testa
var corped = corpo
parent.intestazione.location.href= tested
parent.centrale.location.href= corped

}
</script>

and in the button:
<a href="frame.html" onClick="toped('intestazione-libri.html','libri.html')">
Thanks so much for your kindnesss

See if this is any good.

If you have your home page in a single window then a new window has to be opened for the frameset, otherwise you will lose access to the other links in your home page.



<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function init(testa, corpo){
Testa=testa
Corpo=corpo
setTimeout("toped(Testa, Corpo) ",500)
}

function toped(testa, corpo) {
newwin.focus()
var tested = testa
var corped = corpo
newwin.parent.intestazione.location.href= tested
newwin.parent.centrale.location.href= corped

}
// -->
</script>
<a href="#null" onClick="newwin=window.open('frame.html','mywin')" onmousedown="init('intestazione-libri.html','libri.html')"> Link 1</a>
<P><a href="#null" onClick="newwin=window.open('frame.html','mywin')" onmousedown="init('intestazione-libri.html','libri.html')"> Link 2</a>

so you tell me to open a new window with a timer and use the new window to make a path that target the frame...
Do you think is not possible to target the frame without the window?
Well.. i will try...
Just a questin. When i open the new window, i have a link that bringme to home.html. So i would like that the page simply close itself... just using a function windowClose?

i try in your way and i feel i'm quite close to the final solution!
But the problem is that the new url are loaded in the right frames... when i use the browser arrow to back, it display me the frame page with the old url... maybe i have to put variabiles also inside the frame src?

You cannot target a frame if it does not exist

you could try replace() method so that the pagfes don't go in the history

"you could try replace() method so that the pagfes don't go in the history"

Sorry, but i'm so bad in js... what do you mean exactly?
I try putting in the two frame a no file src... i don't know if it is right but it seems to work.
In the frame.html and exactly in the frame "centrale" and "intestazione" I wrote <frame src="#"...>
Dreamweaver alert me with "# is a file that it doesn't exist".
But when i pressa link the browser back button is inactive...
What do you thinck?
