Links in Frames

mrgrammar

I normally HATE to use frames but in this case, I have no choice. I have two frames: frame1, frame2

Frame1 has an if clause. If condition is true then show link in frame2.

How do I get the link to load in frame 2?

EX:
In Frame1

$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "", "");
if ($link == 1){
What goes here to load www.site.com in Frame2
}
mysql_close($link);

Without going into much detail, you have to use JavaScript.

Thanks. I was hoping there would be an easier way, but I can do the javascript. Now, how do I get the javascript link to automatically execute if the condition is true?

Let's look at this:
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "", "");
if ($link == 1){
What goes here to load www.site.com in Frame2
}
mysql_close($link);

So then, "What goes here to load www.site.com in Frame2" would be the echoed Javascript. That javascript would be the standard opening and closing SCRIPT tags. The code itself would be something like location.href = yourPage.php that would target Frame2.

Do a Google for "frames javascript", and you should get some clues on how to use JavaScript in Frame1 to change the location of Frame2. Sorry, but I can't recall the exact syntax at the moment. Just remember that PHP will need to echo out the JavaScript.
