Nested Frames

[evan18h]

I have a website that uses three frames for the main page... I then have a link that loads another page with frames in the mainFrame. In this new page with a Top frame how do I link it to that pages mainFrame, but away from the overall mainFrame?

Accessing individual frames can only be done with Javascript, since frames are a client-side invention.

document.framename.method
document.framename.attribute

I always resort to this resource for Javascript problems, although it's a bit out of date these days 🙂 Newer browsers have the getElementById("id") method which is alot easier.

can you put that code in form of a link? I havent worked with javaScript in a long time. Thanks

Something like

document.framename.location.href = 'somewhere.html'
