solarwind2424 · 03-12-2005, 08:07 PM

i know how to use button links...
this is how...

Code:

<html>

<HEAD>

<script type="javascript">

function goToURL() 
{ 
window.location = "http://www.codingforums.com"; 
}

</script>

</HEAD>


<BODY>

<form>
<input type=button value="CODING FORUMS" onClick="goToURL()">
</form>

</body>

</html>

...BUT, how do you use a button link to link to a specific frame in a webpage

this is my frameset and index file:

index.html
frametop.html
frameleft.html
mainframe.html

index is the file which holds the frames in a frameset
there are 3 frames in index.html
one at the top,
one at the bottom, which is split into two frames.

so how do i use a button link to ... lets say... link to www.codingforums.com, but so that the target is "mainframe.html"?

--any help is appreciated, thankyou!

Why are you doing all of the coding with javascript when it can be done in html by just using something like this on one line?

<a href="http://www.codingforums.com" target="mainframe"><img border="0px" src="/images/home.png"></a>

Take a look at www.novell-linux.com

Is this what you are trying to do?

I think the key word here is button

<frame src="mainframe.html" name="main">

<button onClick="main.location='http://www.codingforums.com'">codingforums</button>
or
<button onClick="parent.main.location='http://www.codingforums.com'">codingforums</button>
