Resolved Text that activates two different links??

xskybirdx · 08-15-2009, 02:00 AM

I have a page which has two separate iframes. I know how to use target="iframename", but i want to have one link that changes both frames, and the code

Code:

<a href="lalala1.html" target="iframe1"><a href="lalala2.html" target="iframe2">link text</a></a>

doesn't work. Is there any way to do this, or is it a lost cause? Is there maybe a way to use a javascript function? (If javascvript is solution, sorry that this is in wrong topic.)

I'm not sure if it would work anyway, but there is a typo in what you posted above. Is that exactly what you tried to use?

Code:

<a href="lalala1.html" target="iframe1"><a href="lalala2" target="iframe2">link text</a></a>

If not, javascript would work.

What you have will not work. You would need to use javascript, at least for the second link.

Code:

<a href="lalala1.html" target="iframe1" onclick="window.frames['iframe2'].location = 'lalala2.html'">link text</a>

Oh, oops

. But, no, I checked and the what I tried to use was 'correct', but the text only linked to the second, inner target (lalala2 in example).

Thank you so much!
